Grigg, educate me. It seems to me that the gear assembly bolts into the housing as a unit so regardless of gasket thickness the gear alignment would remain the same. The axle alignment might be off a few thousanths but does that matter over the length of the axle of several feet? The housing probably flexes more than that.
