Torque values which may be of interest:
Transaxle case bolts - 18 ft. lbs
Input shaft allen key bolt - 70 ft. lbs
Two bolts that hold the cover plate with the springs and balls underneath - 7.5 ft lbs
I used a bit of locktite red on the input shaft allen key bolt and I used RTV around the transxaxle case, around the underside of the cover plate and around the outside portion of the black plastic cap (the allen key bolt is underneath here).
Should I have also used loctite red on the transaxle case bolts? Or does it matter?

That 70 ft-lbs is for the 12 mm Hex bolt ONLY. The 7 mm hex bolt should be torqued to about 25 ft-lbs. It is a good idea to replace the cap once it is removed.
If you hammer on the input shaft bolt, then make sure it is threaded in several turns or the threads in the shaft itself may become damaged.
You do not need loctite on the case bolts.
