Question about KitchenAid KHM3 Classic Hand Mixer
The beater with the extra collar will not lock into place, it falls out before I even get it into the batter. Can the "collar-grip" be replaced? Where would I get such a thing? What is the real name for it?
You need a new gear set. Hard to find however.

I fixed mine (my wife's). Kitchenaid 3-Speed Hand Mixer KHM3WH. Here's how I did it.

This is a pretty old mixer. My wife bought it at a thrift store for $1. She brought it home, we found the beaters and whisk beaters on eBay. Paid $34.00 for both sets of beaters, but when we received them we found they would not stay in the mixer. Oh we also bought the alternative/replacement beaters from Sears, parts online. I don't think those will work with my fix. However with some $0.92 rubber washers from Lowe's and a heavy duty paperclip I fixed the mixer, and it works flawlessly. Maybe some stainless steel wire would be a better, more permanent fix.

To Attach Flat Beater,Wire Whip, or Spiral Dough Hook, simply
1. Slip flat beater on beater shaft.
2. Turn beater to right, hooking beater over the pin on shaft.

Yes, I have the same problem. I'm going to open the case to see if I can figure something out.
The grippers have cracked or broken off in the gear shaft housings. I cannot locate the gears either. Please forward contact information if you find a source.
