Curious as to what grease/lube you guys put in the manual boxes. Mine was rebuilt years ago but is starting to bind up a bit and seems low on lube.............thankxxx............

I think a lot of guys pump them full of grease since the oil just leaks out.

That`s what I origionally did but it has been slightly leaking over the years so maybe some synthetic grease............. thankxxx

Use 90 wt in mine, but they never leaked. Grease would be the proper choice if they do.

Grease and 90 wt gear oil heated out blend together.

Fix the leaking seal/worn sector shaft.
