Grease suggestions.

[Anthony A]

I am going to be greasing the shift linkage and clutch mechanism on a 2003 Toyota Celica GTS 6 spd manual. The people on the Celica forums are all recommending white lithium grease but they are also complaining about the durability of it. I need some suggestions on a durable lube that is not harmful to plastic and rubber parts. Thanks

Any body?

Is this cable or link-bar design?

For cables, Dow Corning makes an excellent grease called Molycote 33. It is a silicone grease thickened with lithium soap and is designed for use in automotive control cables and in lightly loaded assemblies with plastic gears, such as wiper transmission units.

It's a link-bar. The dealership gave me some grease by a company called Castle. The product is called Muscle Grease. On the can it says it's an aluminum complex grease and the grease is red.

We use MolyKote 33 on all our wiper motor rebuilds with excellent results, it's good stuff for lightly loaded all weather applications.
