when I installed my 2017 TOB, i greased the contact point of the clutch fork itself as well the inside of the bearing the rides on the shaft. the actual bearing itself doesn't need any lubrication, but where it rides on the shaft, it doesn't hurt to add. for what it's worth I used high temp copper grease. I was pretty generous with it too.

whether I did it wrong or not, it hasn't given me any issues and I've put close to 10k miles on the clutch and at this point over 20-30 track days since 2017. I used the copper grease because i saw it was good to 1800F.
