hello all, please bear with me, lol!<br /><br />so, I repaired my lower unit, replaced the broken spring clutch thing with a while used hub that I bought off the internet (cloi, hub, gear and all) for a measly $10. and my ciol was definately broken, the new one is not. I get it in the water and anything over about 8mph and the motor revs will go up but, the boat will not go faster. now, what Im about to tell you is probably my problem, but I figured Id check here first.... <br /><br />after I put the lower unit back together, double checked everything and what not, the needle bearings that go on the driveshaft fell apart, and the only thing I had to put them back in without them falling apart was automotive bearing grease, also, the local evinrude dealer ASSURED me that regular lower unit 85w90 would work in my selectric shift, even tho I had recalled something about either type C or Premium blend being required for the older selectric shift units. <br /><br />so, if I change out the gear lube and get that auto bearing grease out of there, as well as the wal-mart special 85w90, will my slipping go away? or am I screwed?<br /><br />McAdam
