Re: Transmission install grease?
Seth, sometimes we give out more information than you asked for, however, Grease is good, no grease is bad. I would venture to say that the only time the ujoint is exposed is when the rear end is pulled, or the transmission. So you should add grease now as insurance, and one less thing to fret over.

Re: Transmission install grease?
Got me! I should have said due to too few pumps, not total lack of pumps.

Re: Transmission install grease?
In speaking with a few folks who have shops that rebuild Model As (and/or their engines), the consensus seems to simply be "pack it with bearing grease" and "ignore the Les Andrews 8 pump instructions". I don't have any definitive answer, but figure that this is likely "better than good enough" and wanted to post what I did for those who were following. I also plan to pull the rear end of the car in the next two years. When I do, I will check for wear/tear and see if this method is the right one.
