What grease for shifter & seat?
« on: Feb 20, 2009, 07:39:26 AM »
I see on the heavy duty shifter seat installation it says to grease it before putting the shifter in. I didn't do this when I put it all back together, but I don't see what grease to use. What grease should I use?

Ok, so white lithium in a spray bottle would even work? Or the all purpose grease for chassis lubing? Thanks!

the white lithium I used comes in a tube or small jar       I guess the spray would work too

Yeah I've never completely understood what the difference is between the aerosol and the tube stuff...I'm guessing it's more or less the same. Thanks.
