If the lube can be put into a boot that is mostly external to the bell housing the risk of clutch contamination may be less.
Good to know, thanks for the tips. I wasn't sure since it's kind of hard to visualize all the parts within the housing. I'll keep this in mind if I ever have to relubricate the assembly.

Here's a thread on replacing the clutch that has some good pictures of what's inside the housing.
