I have looked over all the threads and performed general internet searches and there is no consensus of WHAT LUBE to use or even if lube should be used at all on the snout where the release bearing travels.
The Subaru Service Manual does not even show whether lube should be used or not. It talks about lubing the pivot point and the contact point between the release bearing and the fork but IT does not seem to mention lubing the snout where the release bearing slides forward and back.
Anyone have a definitive answer?
I have to believe some grease needs to be used....IF SO, what kind? Does it need to have specific qualities?
Thanks for responding.
I attached some photos of my tranny bell-housing taken during my engine removal project.
