Anyone use sealer between trans and diff on C6
I have a C6 A4 auto and was wondering if anyone has used sealer between trans and diff to make sure there is no leaking between diff and trans. Not on the rubber seal but on the case surfaces between trans and diff. The service manual does not say anything about using any. Seams like like a little sealer would be a good idea. Could it hurt. Also what kind of sealer would you use.

From Service Manual
Failure to follow the proper removal and installation procedures may result in damage to the engine crankshaft thrust bearing.
Install the differential plate to the transmission, use care not to damage the transmission output seal in the rear of the plate.
Position the square-lip differential plate seal flush with the transmission case.
SLOWLY slide the differential to the transmission.
Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice in Cautions and Notices.
Install the differential to transmission bolts and nuts.
Tighten
Tighten the differential to transmission bolts and nuts to 50 N·m (37 lb ft).
