Re: To Grease Trans shaft or not ? a.EDU>

[erl@unix.mail.virginia.edu]

The shop manual does not recommend greasing the trans extention that
carries the throwout sleeve.  However, if you do choose to do so, I would
recommend the use of a synthetic grease.  A dry lub such as graphite also
does well.  The main problem with putting grease on the extention is that
it collects dirt.  Although the cars were delivered with a dust shield on
the lower part of the trans, often these were left off by later mechanics.
(Note my comments on repair shops/DIY-ers.)
