narrow case gear selector box lubricant

Post by SP3 »

I admit that I haven't dug into my library for the answer but, what is the preferred lubricant for the guts of the transmission selector box? I have mine out/apart and want as smooth a functioning, longest lasting shifter as possible.

I would use molibdemon disulphide as used in cv joints.

that had crossed my mind. Might need a light (light!) coat of Hylomar on the halves to keep it from seeping out over time but, I think it would fit the bill.
