Hey Robert, Ever since I but in the FBO plate I have been wondering why the plate does not bind on the counter-weight tabs and the top shaft. It seemed like a tight fit and I didn't add any grease or lubrication between the top shaft and the FBO plate. It took a little effort to move it by hand, but I was too focused on getting it back together and in the car. Was I supposed to lube the plate/top shaft contact area? thanks Vic
