Adding the shims created a much more fluid transition between accel and decel now and eliminated the"hiting" when changing between the two. I highly recommend it to anyone with a looser rear connection and to all new riders. Helped me out alot.
Here's a DIY link for the mod and a little more detail about the issue:

Agreed. Helped alot for me too. Might I also add that I just added the 15T front sprocket and that eliminated practically all the bucking I had. It changes the gear ratio "just" enough, not alot, to dampen the surge of power in 1st and 2nd gear.
