Would be a good idea if you're not replacing it.

I threw some white lith in there. I used plenty. Ran it thru w/ my finger, made sure the bearings still spun.

It's a bushing not a bearing, and it's brand new. I know a bearing needs lube, but I'm not so sure about the bushing. The old one seemed pretty dry when I took it out, but...

bushing or bearing, everything loves lube, just make sure that theres no excess to fly off and contaminate the clutch disc at 6000 rpm's
