I am about to install the new clutch- but not sure what grease to use between TOB and fork-fingers it mounts to plus the center shaft. Manual states GM PN 1051355....But I have some Permatex Lithium grease...would that work?...

only thing in web search is GM AC part w/ that number.
Can't see FSM etc right now to see too.

You what very high temp grease that won't run/separate.
Pematex Green Label Brake Grease should work & doesn't need muct even then.

Standard/Generic White Grease often does both even @ "room temp" in short time too. If you have it in can/tube for long likely have started doing that now.
"Permatex Lithium grease" could be same. what number is it.

Other oil/grease can also get into the pressure plate then contaminate the clutch friction parts causing glazing etc.

Looking around on the web I found that the spec is NLGI #2.....and then found that Lucas makes a tube of it; White Lithium Grease with that spec number on the label....Was able to pick it up at Home Depot.

I'd rather have a tube than a tub....(Cheaper and easier to store/keep sealed...
