I sprinkle magic pixie dust on my mechbox and then leave it out under a rainbow...works perfectly after that.

Edit: Sorry, not the most helpful post...it's budget time and I've been staring at excel sheets all day....

I put together a few mechs with "loose" bevels...and it seemed to work. But I reverted back to shimming it in place just out of comfort and peace of mind. As you're shimming, you can get a sense of how far away from the right side (and thus closer to centerline) by how many shims are going on top of the bevel gear....if I end up with more than two...I'll take a good look to see how far off things are.

I suppose that if your grip is wonky (i.e. poorly made/molded...read Dboys) you're motor will be completely out of alignment to begin with...making this a futile exercise. Then you'd need pixie dust AND lucky charms...
