Hi all!
What is the best grease to use on the selector bushes?
We have some real cold weather here now. Below -10 degrees Celsius. In these freezing cold gear change is a battle. I am using moly grease on the bushes as repair manuals advise (but not mentioned in the very good wiki article), but are there better lubricants that suits?
Cheers!

Re: Gear selector bush grease
You can get silicone grease for use down to -70ish, is it that cold?

Re: Gear selector bush grease
They say -25 this night and warming up to -5 range afterthat, so not a big trouble.
But I will check that silicone too
Thx
