Grease for TO bearing? Picked up the new GM slave yesterday at the dealing and see it comes with very very little grease on the TO compared to the slave I pulled out.
Can I use any hitemp grease to coat it before install?

You don't need a bunch of grease on the external parts of the t/o bearing. What you don't want to do is get a bunch of grease in there that can get spun all over your clutch disc. Having said that, I have seen some articles where high temp brake lube is used very very sparingly. You an get a small pack at Advance for $1.

I can see the changes they made. The previous unit, which I assume is the original 98 has a rubber seal on the TO and was packed with grease, the new unit has a poly/plastic seal and no grease at all beyond the rim of the TO.
