I'm replacing the transmission and since there was some oil in the center post (the clutch drive tube slides through it) what type and weight of lube should I put in it and how much?

Thanks,

wedrons

I use light turbine oil, non-detergent available in a squeeze tube from most appliance parts suppliers.
Also, I put some silicone grease under the upper spindle seal. I never pull the spin tube out all the way, never necessary. Make sure you clean off all rust areas on the tranny spindle before installing.

Thanks Rich,

Going to use 20ND since the closest appliance store is 130m rt. How far up the tube do u fill it?
