I was wondering if I just bolt it up to the engine or do I grease it up a little. I have done this before and for the life or me, I can't remember putting anything on the starter gear, but it seems like something I should do. I guess I'm asking what everyone else does. Thanks. Oh sorry for the title.  | | | | | Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 2,953 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 2,953 | I have changed a few in my time but never recall lubricating anything. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | no grease anywhere near the flywheel/clutch for me thanks

The drive clutch will usually wear out before the drive gear or ring gear shows any wear.

I have had experience with oil and /or grease on the flywheel and clutch. I would not get any oil or grease close to the flywheel. Life will be much easier without the oil or grease!! Joe

And others. Happy New Year.
Sounds like no oil/grease is the way to go.
Thanks, | | |
