In theory, yes it may work.

Since the shims will get it close, there would be minimal chance of the pinion walking into the carrier, but that is still a possibility.

You can try it and see where it gets you, as the crush sleeve isn't expensive, and most all issues will cause minimal to no damage if driven at slow to moderate speeds while you try and figure out if it's done correctly.
