Hello -
I'm new here (WOW what a resource!) and I did search before posting.
We are doing a clutch on my '98 2.5, which has been a pretty straightforward job compared to the old Italian cars I'm used to.
We did have trouble separating the upper and lower shifter from one another, and I got help from the local machine shop because I was afraid of breaking something.
Now it's time to go back together, and I feel like I should put a light coat of anti-seize on the metal clip parts just in case me or some other poor guy has to take it apart again.
Is there any reason that I should not use anti-seize on reassembly?
Thank you,
- Eli
 
I don't see any reason not to.

Only time you don't is when all your parts fall off going down the trail.

Ask me how I know!
