I always smear a little rtv when I am putting something back together, with or without a gasket. With a gasket you need very little, just a very thin layer smeared around with your finger. I just put a transfer case back on the other day, and didn't use a gasket at all, just rtv. In that case without a gasket I used a bead of rtv to seal it. Hasn't leaked so far.

Didn't think you wanted a true "seal" there anyway...… The output shaft of the tranny is sealed.
The input shaft of the T-case is sealed.
There should be NO fluid in this cavity, and how would you know of a leak issue if it is "sealed tight?"
This is where you get the questions where did the fluid go, the T-case was empty, but no leaks...
Thought the paper gasket just makes for an easy break apart, from the cases corroding..
