1st clutch install, question?

I just finished installing a new clutch. Before starting up the car, I re-reviewed all the write ups I had to see if I missed anything. I did. The Ford racing clutch kit included a throw out bearing, which I installed as is. I coated the tyranny input shaft, where the TOB rides, with a light coat of grease. However, I did not clean off the inside of the TOB. One of the write ups mentions to not forget to clean any residual grease off the inside of the TOB. Is it really a problem, or should I remove the tranny and clean up things? My thought is that it's not really going to be a problem, but would like to hear from experience.

Thanks

Unless it was a huge excess, it will be fine.

I agree. Some of them come pre-lubed. Hey, when I put mine in I used the wrong grease (wheel bearing grease) and had no problems.

I asked several places what lube to use and mentioned the long life ford lube referenced. Everyone said to go with wheel bearing grease, so I went with a synthetic lube. So little i even used, that I'm sure it will work fine.
