Post by Kiwi Cortina »

Do any of you know what lubrication to use in the column shift box that is attached to steering column?

Thanks

Brent, Earlier models, like my Zephyr, has grease fittings and ( remove cover to oil ). Manual says to use motor oil on any moving parts. I would also lube the shifting lever mechanism with grease.

Pete, Thanks. I couldn't find information in any of my manuals of what to use. It has a rubber plug about the size of a quarter on the side. I was going to put gear oil in it, same as the steering box.

Thanks again
