TimothyOnline Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 (edited) The recommended greases are: Nichimoly N-130 (1) (eBay only)Phillips 66 Multiplex Red No. 2 (2) (widely available in the US)Subaru P/N 000041000 (3) These are recommended to lubricate the splines and other parts (clutch fork pivot, fork-to-thrust bearing, shaft-to-thrust bearing, shaft-to-pilot bearing). (3) Purchasing a single cartridge would require access to a nearby ConocoPhillips distributor, none of which exist in Central Virginia, but I have found a vendor, Fastenal, who sells them online by-the-tube: https://www.fastenal.com/products/details/0411136 $10.27 + tax + shipping.

rhino6303 Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 (edited) I was just searching for approved grease today. I'm pretty sure this grease will work as well. It is nearly identical when viewing the data sheet. https://www.crcindustries.com/products/driller-red-grease-extreme-pressure-lithium-complex-grease-14-wt-oz-SL3640.html Edited November 16, 2018 by rhino6303 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchbp6 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I was able to purchase subaru 000041000 grease from my local dealership I have yet to use it though, I will be once I get all my parts in. I believe this cost me about $20 CAD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Just to clarify, do not put anything on the matting surface of the tranny and block, I believe that is a ground path. This grease is for the clutch area where things need to slide and spin. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it. Engine Build - Click Here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBT Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 It is okay to put neverseize on the alignment dowel pins, and I recommend this, if you anticipate having to remove either the engine or transmission. - Pro amore Dei et patriam et populum - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enlight Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 (edited) TSB 01-167-08 is floating around on google and has recommended alternatives in case you're unable to find some of those, in addition to alternatives for other things recommended in the FSM.
