G4003G Transmission Question.

My main concern in starting this thread was to make sure that collar wasn't used for some sort of preload adjustment for the tranny. You guys are right, either the collar flange is a little off or the bore is a little off. Now that I know it's not an adjustment I'll just refrain from socking down that 3rd bolt the last quarter turn, at least for now. If I didn't swap out the gears for some metric threading I never would have known about this. Next time I tear down to thread metric, I'll true it up. Thanks.

Sounds like its an oil seal flange. If it is, only tighten it enough so that it doesn't leak. As the seal wears you tighten the bolts. You do not want these bolts very tight to start with. The increase in drag you feel when the bolts are tightened is from the increased pressure of the seal on the shaft. Too much drag and you will have premature wear of the seal.
