BooG, the simple answer is yes.
It is easier to fit the clamp if you fit a longer M3 screw, say 6mm longer. All the clamps I've seen need the screw to be clear of the thread before it will go over the gearbox flange and then you need three hands and a double-jointed shoulder to get it back together.
Cheers,
Paul.
