A spot of maintenance
« on: 28 November 2006, 14:11:29 »
I noticed recently that a metallic clong has developed from the base of the auto gear selector when going over bumps in the road (of which there are many in London). I took off the leather cover and had a closer look, and saw traces of lubricant covering the moving parts – so I took some ordinary multipurpose grease and smeared a fine layer on the lower toothed bit and especially on the plunger at the bottom of the stick – the one you move by pressing the lever on the gear knob – and it’s all nice and quiet now. Just something else to look at…

Yes, multipurpose grease is graet for fixing 'clongs'. However, DO NOT try to use it on 'clanks' or 'clunks', these require specialised lubricants :y
