Grease on the shifter
I am about to install the short shift kit, bushings and the seal at the back on Sunday.
Can someone tell me what I should us for lube and where? Thankks John |

I use Amsoil synthetic waterproof bearing grease or equivalent. Use it wherever there's friction. Use it sparingly. You don't need alot.

I use Valvoline SynPower Synthetic Grease with moly #985 or #986 in the ball cup and on the shift rod along the path of the rod bushing. The coupler bushings are installed dry.
After you disassemble and clean the shifter parts ... and are reassembling, be sure to check for play at the fork pivots. fore-and-aft play needs to be eliminated, sometimes new washers are needed to shim for wear. Be sure to lubricate well with moly grease everything that moves in the shifter!
