Sorry for the late response and thank you for your helpful question.
No, the original basket was used I simply removed the used K1 and K2 Frictions/Steels replaced with Raybestos Powertrain Frictions/Steels. Talking with APR as well as Raybestos, they state that if you are not changing the basket it is not required to take measurements for a different shim/circlip. If you replace the entire assembly new as offered from VWAG or use a different basket than what was originally in the transmission you must measure and calculate shim/circlip clearance. I am certain that the basket is properly assembled since I have serviced quite a few although I will be removing the DSG unfortunately since I haven't been successful in finding the culprit of the slip/shutter. I am very particular and thorough about cleanliness, accuracy and tolerance. Everyone makes mistakes so I'll check it out. Just to be safe I am going to check the tolerances on the basket to verify the original shim is still in spec.
