LT1/T56 clutch spline shaft and pilot bearing grease?

Please move this to the Drive line forum if it belongs there.

 

I searched and found people have used regular axle and bearing grease,

and some say use Black Moly Axle grease, others say to use Hi temp brake caliper synthetic grease, and all say NOT to use white lithium grease,

 

What Brand and grease type have you used and how much did you apply?

 

I was thinking to wipe a little grease on the pilot bearing face, the clutch fork pivot points, the face of the throw out bearing that contacts the clutch fork and just a tiny wipe on the clutch and shaft splines and input shaft tip.

I don't want to put too much on to get any slung onto the PP or clutch disc or to little to have problems later.

 

Thanks,

Greg

ive used both high temp wheel bearing grease and moly that came in a kit

just a little dab here and there and put a light coat on the shaft spline

i just used disc brake grease on mine. its water/heat resistant and wont melt off. plus its made for metal to metal contact.

All,Thanks for the help

I got it clutch installed and bolted the tranny back, I ended up using a high temp red tacky caliper grease from Penzoil. Smeared a thin coating on the shaft/spline, new pilot bearing, throw out bearing surface and the fork.

Cleaned both the new resurfaced flywheel and the new pressure plate with brake clean.

Thanks again
