In part, a continuation of my SuperMeteor gearbox saga - now I find that I have the correct box (and a dipstick - doh!) I am considering lubricants; has anyone experience with semi-fluid greases for this application? I used it with success in the 70's on various Burman gearboxes, mainly on my Comet, and it seems the ideal product, rather than relying on what might be left of the original grease topped up with oil . . . . (which soon finds its exit points) or heating and mixing "snot" as the Americans call it - green grease and engine oil.
Anyone got any pros or cons? It's a lithium-based grease (mine was Penrite, but it's widely available) which will "pool" so you can get a level with either a dipstick or a plug (!).
Cheers, Weedsy
