Default clutch installation grease ?

When putting the clutch back together should a thin smear of grease be applied to the throw out bearing face and clutch fingers? Any suggestions? Thanks guys.

I didn't put any grease on the clutch fingers or bearing face, and only a *very slight film* of high-temp grease on the shaft of the main bearing retainer that the throwout bearing rides on.

I did very slight film of lubriplate high temp grease on the the shaft, the fingers, and inside the hole.
All of the above pertains to the clutch parts you perverts
