Darrell,
In my TR6, I don't recall, nor does TRF catalog show and seals between inner
and outer shafts. There is a bellows type boot over the two, however.
I did find a washer on the drive shaft that was as you described, cork and
deteriorating. For that application, I used one of those felt washers that go
under the battery posts. I had to fold it over and trim the inner diameter to
increase it to fit. The purpose for the cork was to form a seal, which the
felt does as well. (The color, red or green, is optional....)
hope this helps,
Stan
