    putting in short shifter... what to lube shifter cup?

    I been using copper antiseize on the powerflex bushings. Would that work for the shifter ball? Or something else. I have axle grease too... and lithium in a spray. What do you use?

    No e30s, again :(
    mine had some kind of light grease on it when I swapped to a shorter one from a 335i. I didn't put anymore on so whatever was in there is what stayed. it was light colored though
    No e30s again.
