Shifter Grease.........?
Hey
Looked at my tranny from above today as I cleaned the shifter area.......... Noticed that the shifter and the tranny are bone dry........should this area have any lubrication? If so...what should be used........ |
Are you talking about where the shifter meet the transmission, you need to put in about 1 table spoon of gear oil rated for the transmission.
If you are talking about the shift fork-slave cylinder, then a dab of wheel bearing grease. John |
After taking the shifter out of the tranny and looking in its dry...so where the smaller ball of the shifter clicks into the small spring of the tranny...........if I am saying that right....
|
80-90w gear oil.

Usually, you fill the shifter housing reservoir with a bit of gear oil. Upon the recommendation of Rob Golden at Pineapple Racing, I've been using a healthy dab of bearing grease instead. Much less messy/smelly and it's worked great for me for years. I use Royal Purple synthetic bearing grease, but any should do. Obviously, the tranny itself requires gear oil. For that, I also use Royal Purple, but, again, any quality GL4/GL5 gear oil should work.

I also use grease in the shifter box.It stopped the slow leak of oil from the box(obviously),and it killed the common "short shifter buzz" so many people complain about.

I filled the filled it right up to the level of the keeper spring with Royal Purple after I installed a new shifter bushing kit. Shifts nice and smooth.

I used grease when I last had mine apart...
