Any drastic effects if I did not use white lithium grease in my short shifter install? I plan to take out the collar and grease it up thoroughly, as I am getting a horrible rattle. However, I'm too lazy to take out the whole shifter to grease up the "ball". Is it that important to grease the ball up with lithium grease? what I used initially was this gear lubricant which was not thick at all.

is it important to have the ball of the shifter greased up well with lithium grease?

 

please

 

not to important, and the rattle is either from your shifter hitting a heat shield or from the screw that hold the shifter to your shift links is loose

 

cool thanks, and yeah...it's definately not a heat shield, it's clear of hitting anything. I narrowed it down to the collar having too much space inside the shifter because the o-rings that were supplied were a tad bit too tiny. I'm gonna go back to using the stock o-rings and grease that ish up
