My Richmand Gear rebuild kit came with a thin cork gasket, to put between the rear end housing and the 3rd member. Considering the torque in a rear end, it seems to me that this gasket must take a pounding. I'm thinking of leaving the gasket out and using a sealant like "The Right Stuff." However leaving the gasket out will set the 3rd member an 1/8" or so deeper into the housing.

Anyone done this?

Advice Please.
