I am assuming I should put some on the transmission before bolting it up. Or is it for other applications that use this kit, just not the crossfire?
I guess yours dried up over time, the plate slides up and down a bit on the splined portion of the shaft so you do need it. Not too much or it will get thrown onto the friction pads.
If you are using the old flywheel then you should scuff it up a bit with emery cloth. You can buy the disks and the spindle they run on in a hand drill quite cheaply <$20. They are made for disk brakes.
Running a dial indicator over it should be done as well, just in case it is badly warped.
