Suitable grease

Posted By : Peter Boxshall, 28-Sep-2003, 12:04pm

Can anyone recommend from experience a suitable grease for the Clutch operating lever pivot please.
Previously I used Molybdenum Disulphide grease. The book says Zinc Oxide grease which I don't think is available these days. Thanks in anticipation

Peter,
Never noticed that! You can get Zinc Oxide ointment in Boots the Chemist - it's for rubbing on baby's bottom! And very soothing for other sorenesses, but probably no use for sore clutches.

IMHO your usual grease is fine!

  Funny you should say that John, as that's the only thing I could think of from way back when nappies and nappy rash were the order of the day.
  I am reasonably happy to use Molybdenum Disulphide again but the pivot started making creaking noises less than a year from when I applied it after a clutch change. Perhaps it is a common effect(?) that all GT6 owners have to live with.
