I bought this knowing it had been disassembled for inspection. I just noticed that the bolts connecting the tail shaft to the main case are loose. I presume there is supposed to be a gasket or RTV in the interface. Can I loosen the bolts and slip the tail shaft back 1/4 inch to inject RTV? I have never dealt with an issue like this, so appreciate all comments
The thickness of that gasket can have an effect on output shaft end play and bearing preloads. It would probably be a wiser choice to remove the extension housing and fit the right gasket. Jerry
