            you use white lithium grease.

            How do you manage to install a short shifter backwards. lmao. I have yet to do that.

                  Don't you mean the stock one curves back. It doesn't curve forward.

                      When I installed my MP3 shifter, I used Redline synthetic grease. My shifts have always been smooth regardless of temperature. I consider the Redline an acceptable alternative to Lithium grease.

                        do they sell it in autozone.
                        I would have no intentions on ordering something like that, but if autozone carries it, then a pick up would be done.

                          I don't know if they sell Redline products at Autozone but according to the Redline website they sell it at Strauss Auto in the Bronx.
