Question Intermediate Shaft Not Enough Backlash Remedy

What is the solution if the backlash is too little?

We are rebuilding our 1970 914-6 (aka 1969 911T) engine. Our original intermediate shaft was out of spec. We replaced it with a new one from Porsche. Crank refurbished by a well known machine shop with excellent reputation. 0 marks on crank gear and intermediate shaft.

There is no perceptible backlash watching, listening, feeling. Best case with dial indicator is it .01mm, but it is hard to be sure I'm not moving the crank to get that. So we're under the published spec. What can you do about it?
