How much grease should I look to pack into clean transmission flanges? Or, is this just a matter of packing additional grease into the joint itself?
I'm swapping out a transmission and the replacement (fresh rebuild) has no residual grease in the flanges. I've never messed with CV joints before ). With past clutch jobs I've done, same transmission(s), I just connected the axles back up, didn't add any grease.
Not wanting to go through all the hassle of cleaning and repacking. The boots are all fine, in which case I'm pretty sure that the CV joints are good (have experienced no signs of them being bad/stressed).
If I need to add grease am I looking at having to run out and get grease from the dealer (for compatibility), or can I add a good aftermarket grease?
Also... Should I replace the gaskets? (had not done that previously)
