Grease question

[Beej]

Picked up a used wraith and want to rebuild/build up the trans. What grease do you guys have good results with? I read about the Mobil 1 grease? Would like something that I can get quickly and easily and not have to wait for shipping.

I use Lucas Red "N" Tacky grease. It sticks to the gears so they stay lubed but it won't soften the plastic housings.

You can get it at auto parts stores , Lowes, Home Depot and lots of other places.

Green grease is good too, doesn't separate and leak out. I got it at autozone. I use losi great grease now which is pretty tacky.

Go to your local Mercury Marine dealer and ask for Engine Coupler Spline Grease. This stuff is water proof and is ment to withstand the heat and pressures of a sterndrive engine. Best grease you could put on a ring and pinion. My next recommendation is Mercury 2-4-C, this is what I use as it's a little thinner and I don't need to remove it for "winter" running.

That's interesting info. "thumbsup"


I use regular Autozone bearing grease, $10 for a tub that has lasted me 4+ years.

I have been using polylube 1000 with good results. It's a bicycle chain grease. Here is a pic of it.

I run my transmissions dry, I only grease the ring/pinion in the axles and the CV joints.

I use this on all my gears.
Very sticky & stinky.

I use the Mobil 1 grease. Seems to work good at repelling water. I will take my axles and trans apart twice a season ( spring thru fall) but to keep the dust out of the bearings. I lube my bearings with royal purple max film. Most all bearings last a full season.
