What is this "shim" you talk about?

Clean your battery terminals.

Use a Volt meter to make sure its your battery that is not dead.

If all checks out, remove the starter and get it checked at AA/AZ.

NO you cannot bleed the hydraulics. Yours are busted most likely bc it was not properly tied up during your tranny operation. Happens quite alot. New ones are $125 at the dealer. GET DEALER/OEM ONLY. You can also get a new set from a junkyard.
