Ready for the clutch spline lube. There are plenty of articles out there on the subject, so I'll just go over the few important points I've learned. Number one, notice the beer in the background. Important. Equally important is number two, the gearbox. Make sure that all mating surfaces (basically any of the flat surfaces you see in the photo) are cleaned with solvent. These surfaces must sit tight against their counterparts. There is no gasket between the gearbox and the engine housing. Next, apply a fairly thin coat of grease to the splines (the teeth in the center). Don't pack the "valleys" full of grease, just coat the outer splines. Do the same on the clutch plate splines. I use straight Honda Moly 60 Paste for this. Make sure there is no grease on the front of the hub, only on the splines. At this point, you can also place a drop of regular moly grease on the tip of the clutch rod you see in the center of the hub.
