Thanks, Mark S. That used to be a thin "O" ring. But those are sooooo expensive. It is now some sealant goop. I would use Non-hardening Permatex. Mazda has a silicone like sealant. And some where they say what to use. The gear will leak a bit of oil if no ring or sealant is used. You can remove the rear stationary gear without disturbing the engine. Just don't turn the engine with the gear out. Just a fine bead of whatever you use. You need none of it getting inside the engine. Lynn E.
