924 Grease Questions
We are in the process of replacing the clutch in our 82-924 (among other things!). The book (Haynes) says to use MoS2 base multipurpose grease for all rubbing surfaces. What is MoS2 grease? Can any of you recommend a product by name that will serve in this application.
Also they recommend Lithium grease, NLGI grade 3 for the needle bearings in the flywheel. What can be used here? My parts store down the street has grade 2 Lithium. And finally, the cv joints at the rear wheels require molybdenum. Who makes this product? It took me so long to get this vehicle apart (that's a whole story in itself) and pieces are so expensive, I don't want to screw anything up by cutting a corner or using the wrong lubricant. |

I used Valvoline synthetic blend. Pick it up at Autozone for around $5.

I've used the synthetic like Imfy in CVs. For the rubbing surfaces like where the throw out bearing slides, needle bearings on fork shaft, etc I use lubriplate but now I,m about out & have no source.
I think MoS2 is molylydium Disulfide so you can look for a grease that contains this. drew1 |

yeah i think its molybdenum sulfide
without the "di" since ionic compounds never have prefixes  except complex ions in compounds like bicarbonate but moly is a normal ion Unless di is an accpeted mistake In molecular compounds ya use prefixes though |
