Posted by: @rich Looking at your Gen 1 gearbox, I hope you have a service manual on hand for plate and circlip direction (orientation to load) torque specs etc. Best of luck with your project, Ric...

A follow up on a few things after 2 days at the track; No issues with the driveshafts other than more grease coming out of the boot which leads me to believe that using 100g of Red N Tacky is just to...

Done Deal. That Tripod pod specific grease is very loose and light counter intuitive to what you'd think should be in there. Hope it works Attachment : IMG_0717.jpeg

Posted by: @clark-darrah You cannot find the Radical recommended grease (Total Lithium EP2 400g) so I used Lucas Oil Red N Tacky which is what my Radical dealer uses. The correct grease is GKN Trip...

@rjbender Rod I am using run time but you make a good point. The manual says "every 10 hours of running" which probably means in gear and rolling. I have heard of more frequent driveshaft failures...

@rjbender GKN makes tripod axle joints for many race cars and non race cars, and they sell GKN tripod grease. From PegasusAutoRacing.com: This grease is designed specifically for use in tripod join...
