I'll double check but I don't think so. Put only a thin layer on. Have your transmissions slid back in pretty easy? With an inch left to pull the two together I shouldn't see any bearing marks on the shaft...so weird .

Side question (so I can make sure flywheel is on right), I assume the starter teeth should not be linked into the flywheel, I'm guessing when the starter engages it moves toward the teeth of the flywheel...no?

I'll even take pictures with better light.

I've read where others had problems but the got enough bolts in top and bottom to pull things together.
