Re: How much grease in the clamshell?
Richard, I pumped quite a bit in it on Saturday before thinking—hey, where is all this going and could that be a potential problem? I decided to stop pumping grease in and ask the question. I think I pumped in quite a bit, but not overly concerned by how much. I did do a test drive and shifted the three speed, but didn’t think to try the Mitchell. Given the Mitchell has gear oil I would guess it has a seal in the front input and rear output.
When we put the Mitchell in we did hand pack the u-joint, but I was sure there were voids and wasn’t aware there was a zerk fitting there to fill it up, or this question would have come up sooner. I will try and call Mitchell. I will report back if/when I get an answer.
Thanks everyone!
