Gasket between trans and t-case

[Seahawk]

I'm about to put my friend's 88 ranger back together after a clutch and slave cylinder replacement. The transmission and t-case were litterally covered in oily dirt so we pressure washed them both.

However, I want to replace the old paper gasket that is between the transmission and transfer case. A few other threads said there is no gasket, just RTV, but I know for sure there is a gasket there because I saw it.

Anybody know what this is called? I can't find it on either of the exploded diagrams for the transmission or transfer case.

I'm not talking about the transfer case input shaft seal either, it's just a paper gasket that goes between the two units.

Thanks.

Just get some High temp RTV and use it. No Fluid even crosses through that section.

Depends what tranny.

It's an 88 so it could be a FM146 which is wet in the extension housing. The M5OD is dry in the extension housing so I don't seal it. I believe the A4LD is also wet in the extension housing.
