This is really simple guys, but haven't been able to really draw a conclusion. I'm going to be swapping an LSD pumpkin into my rear end, and need to know if there is a gasket that goes between the rear end and the diff? What do you guys use to seal it up? A gasket? Some good high temp silicone? I looked on the Mazdatrix site, and I can't find where they list a gasket for the rear diff.

no gasket. I use copper or red high temp silicon

 

Thanks for the help Wacky! And we all know that your favorite color is green. So this one's for you and your speedy answer...

 

For future reference. There is and was never a gasket for the diff. It came from the factory with sealant.

 

go over the flanges with a wire wheel on drill set to low speed. cleans up nice and won't chew up the metal.

i use the oil resistant RTV but copper will do the trick too.
