The output flange is sealed with a high strength stud locker on both the
splines and threads.
The manual recommends: Locktite 270 or Hylogrip or Curil K-2
Locktite 270 has been replaced by 2701 (or #27040)
BMW recommends Loctite 242 for newer transmissions, but that may not be
correct for the Getrag 260.
Apply the sealant to the splines on the flange only, not the shaft
splines. Slide the flange on, and apply sealant to the bearing surface
of the collar nut. Tighten in two rounds: tighten to 125 ftlb, loosen
1/4 to 1/2 a turn, then tighten to 90 ftlb. This assures that the
flange is fully seated on the output shaft, not on trapped sealant.
