Have my '69 Z's OEM Comp. Plus shifter disassembled and flushed clean of all grease -- and there was quite a bit of it present. I left the pivot lever and springs assembled but did drive out the two roll pins to allow the plunger to be removed for cleaning/inspection. Before re-assembling the shifter, I checked various sources to see if there was a recommended grease to use to pre-lube the components, including the Holley/Hurst website, but couldn't come up with anything definitive for the proper grease. Given how much grease was still present after all these years, but only about 20,000 miles, it's obvious these shifters were well greased by Hurst when shipped to Norwood/LA. My post-teardown inspection showed next to zero wear on all the lever plates, divider shims, pins, etc. I'm reluctant to try some of the suggested lubes I came across in my search (such as dry film spray, wheel bearing grease, PAM -- yes, PAM!, etc). Given the nature of the shifter mechanism, with the sliding of mating parts involved, I'm guessing a conventional, heavy bodied moly infused EP grease would fit the bill. What have others used? Thanks.
