I once sat down on a full open tube of high temp anti seize with predictable results ::) Dusty
And interesting enough, although my owner's manual says to use molykote the Technical Data Sheet I linked above from Moto Guzzi Service does not even for the models going back to the early '90s.
Amazingv how a final drive became a transmission.It's a modern miracle! :bow
Need/needed is a funny term. No lubricant is needed in an engine. It will run for maybe a minute without any and for years with the cheapest oil you can buy. It all depends on what sort of life you are hoping for.I've written about moly before but I'll do it again. :BEER:Friction results in heat. If the rear drive runs cooler with it than without then there is less friction. Simple! ;-TI use mineral oil in all of mine and the rear drives run cooler with moly or its equivalent tungsten disulphide. I can measure the difference with an IR thermometer.Give it a try. Go on. let's be scientific. :BEER:Rod in Oz.

Interesting, "gearbox" and "transmission" refer to transmission and final drive. What's in a name?
