Transmission Front Cover Shim

Transmission Front Cover Shim
With my 90' mtx out of the car I decided I should replace the front cover housing & seal like Mazdatrix catalog suggest. It came with the seal installed, but in the FSM a shim is shown in conflicting locations.
FSM Section-page J1-41shows a cover-shim-seal
FSM Section-page J1-11 shows a cover-seal-then shim
Do I even need to worry about this 'shim' if Im just replacing the cover???
Thanks

Just in case someone else has a question of the 'shim', I took photos of the front cover replacement in sequence. The shim was on the transmission side. For the last picture I didn't have moly grease for the throwout, or shift fort, so I used Amzoil Synthetic grease. I'm thinking that's ok?

Are you sure that's not a bearing shim? That third pic really looks like it's the diameter of the outer race of the input bearing.

OK. I think I'm right on this. Look at the FSM page J1-18, bottom illustration, item 7.
It appears to be the shim for the main shaft front bearing.
