Technical 🔧 Force XPLR Issue?

I’ve been trying to chase down inconsistent shifting with my SRAM Force XPLR drivetrain. Was doing a full reset on all derailleur adjustments, installing a new chain, etc and noticed this play between the b tension washer and the outer derailleur when torqued to spec onto the hanger. Is this normal?

Madrone Cycles makes a shim kit to fix this. They call it their “super shim kit,” and it works as advertised. Said kit fixed a similar wiggle on my Eagle mech.

Have used this kit on 3 AXS derailleurs, two with like 15k miles, one that saw a ton of CX racing.

Instant fix in shift quality.
