Clutch Spline Lube 2


Here's a view of the clutch side. You can see the clutch plate and, in the center, the spline. Same thing applies here as in the last post -- grease only the outer portion of the spline surface, and don't get any grease on the front surface of the hub. Any excess grease may find its way onto the clutch plate and you don't want that.

If you are worried about having applied too much grease, an option is to slide the gearbox on all the way, then back it off a little and see if any grease has been forced out of the spline area. If so, you can wipe the excess off and slide the whole thing together again. The two halves should fit tightly together without a hitch. Piece of cake.
