I always use a small dab of synthetic wheel bearing grease. Just enough to work into the needles or it'll come out onto the flywheel.

Thanks. That is what I figured.

The felt ring is there to prevent the grease from flowing onto the clutch. The bearing comes pre-greased, and it's not a particularly good idea to mix different types of grease. I use the Sachs grease on the shaft and splines, and it's likely that's what they put in the bearings, too. That said, I use Kendall Super Blue grease for that application.
