Chris Harris of YouTube, recommends Staburags My question is whether this is worth the money and effort to get or will Honda Moly work just as well?

I still have a partial tube of Honda Moly 60. I understand that Honda now has a different formulation of their Moly paste.
Any lube is better than none. As long as you are using a product that has Molybdenium emulsified in the paste/grease/whatever, that is better than plain grease, which is better than nothing.

BTW, I can tell when I have over-run the service interval when it becomes difficult to down-shift. It would be better if I never let it get to that, but that is the sign.

So THIS is what Honda recommends for their input shafts. Anyone try it? Feedback? Does it smell?:cheer:

I was told that Honda Moly 77 was the replacement for Moly 60. That's what I intend to use when I put the transmission back in. Never heard of that Urea Grease.

Phil, there used to be a product called "Gaurd Dog" That was highly regarded. I'm not sure if that is still made, maybe not. I would go with Mark 999's follow up with Honda Moly 77 unless some one can recommend a more suitable paste/grease/whatever.

I, for one, am interested to know what is the new best stuff since my Honda Moly 60 is almost empty. Otherwise, I'll go with Moly 77.

The thing about the Urea, or any high temp lube, is that we want high pressure lube for the somewhat fine splines on our airheads.

Has anyone ever tried SACHS clutch spline grease from a famous German clutch manufacturer?

Phil, I clicked the link to check out the product. Amazon doesn't give you much information on it. However, on the same page there is shown a product shown that contains Molybdenum disulfide. It is described as a "high pressure" grease. That is what I would use, but the price is in the stratosphere.

Search around a bit more for a high pressure grease that contains Molybdenum disulfide.

Thanks, Jim,

If you're referring to Chemours my only hesitation is that the description says nothing about viscosity or "stickiness" to keep it from being flung off the shaft.

Best,
Phil

New guy here to the forum. I drove myself crazy (short trip) over this decision and finally pulled the trigger on this.

MICROLUBROL M-77 LUBRICANT PASTE GREASE Silicone + Moly, 4 oz, Comp to MOLYKOTE

https://www.ebay.com/itm/MICROLUBROL-M-77-LUBRICANT-PASTE-GREASE-Silicone-Moly-4-oz-Comp-to-MOLYKOTE/281263430502?epid=1363939701&hash=item417c9b5b66:g:ph4AAOxydlFS-BSp

No, I have not even used it yet.
Carl

Looks good,. Not trying to be contrary here, but are shaft splines turning at 6KRPM considered to be "low speeds?" I've got a few miles before I have to do a spline lube. Please report back on how it goes.

Phil, if you are at all concerned about the spline lube being slung off, you are envisioning too much lube being applied. If you place a small bead of lube around the very end of the transmission input shaft splines, it will be spread across the length of the splines when pushed in with very little left to be slung off. I use a paintbrush usually associated with water colors. There would not be enough excess lube to worry about getting on to the clutch disc. I would add that Honda's replacement for Moly 60 is called Moly 77, I will go with that when my Moly 60 is depleted. Forget about the RPM's , what you want is high pressure lube. Think about motors that can turn at over 10,000 RPMs, hell, 6000 is nothing.
