I wouldn't worry too much about contamination of the plates, but I would try to select something that has a chance of staying in place. |
Another option is Honda Moly 60 paste. I've used it on a bunch of different
spline gears, even the rear wheel drive gear. Use sparingly so it doesn't
fling; stays put and lasts a long time. Available at your local Honda shop
for about $8 as I recall.
