Where the contact between the metal pieces is solid the grease is pushed out and does not add any resistance. In the loose areas it remains and helps prevent arcing and corrosion. I've done resistance tests and have not seen any difference in the same connection with and without the grease. However with it the connection does go together and come apart easier.
If that's the case then..."user results may vary"
I had a peak battery bullet sorta melt the case a little bit, and when that happens, I just re-tension my bullets. I'd rather have them hard to pull out than melt a battery down. Remember how hard deans plugs used to be some times. Yeah, that.

But hey, if it works for you that's fine, just my thoughts. Thanks for the reply.
Yes all this is doing is flipping around your motor and taking a a gear out. Any slipper is fine.

This is probably a dumb question, but how do you get the top shaft bearing out on the closed side? I remember it was a snug fit when I built it, now I just can't seem to get it out.

You can also ask your hygenist for picks. They throw them away after they come out of the autoclave after a certain number of times.

Your local Pharmacy (CVS or Walgreens) usually sell pocket Dental picks for a couple bucks.

Converting B5M to 3 gear trans with Schelle
I have the Schelle clutch and I am wondering if I will need anything but the cases, cover and motor plate to convert this buggy from a 4 gear trans to a 3 gear ? Thanks for any help

Another option is just to leave it in there and get a few more bearings so someday down the road you can build a complete 4 gear to have as a quick swap unit? That's what I am gonna do as 5X10 bearings are as plentiful as water, thanks AE engineers!
