Grease in your gearbox

[dobber]

What are people doing. Do you put grease in your gearbox or not, and why?

I put Tamiya ceramic grease in my Vega Gen3 gearbox and its gone into a claggy paste. Im going to rebuild it all tomorow as the diff went last night so full strip down, clean and rebuild will be done. Ive also got some of the Rudebits acetal idler gears to go in too.

Cheers!!

I use one drop of dry lube designed for bicycle chains on each idler gear and the main shaft gear. Seriously, just the tiniest drop.

I don't prelube the diff gear as you don't want anything finding it's way into the ball tracks.

if you want to lube the gears use the same lube you use in the diff
