Default Short throw Question

I got woken up at 5 am this morning by my girlfriend getting ready for work and couldnt go back to sleep, so i gigured what the hell Ill go grab my tools and install my Steeda tri-ax, well there wasnt any stores open at 5 am and I didnt have and gasket maker to put on where the short throw plate and tranny meet. So my questions are could this damage anything by not putting the gasket maker on?

I would def put it on there...I just installed my steeda tri ax today and you def want to have it on there so no dirt or particles get into your tranny oil and also so the tranny oil doesnt leak

It should be fine but expect there to be more noise than before.
