That is the question.
Should we be putting grease on the big spur gear or should it run dry?

...and that attracted dirt will now act as an abrasive sandpaper-esque agent.I don’t see a need to lubricate anything made of nylon/plastic. Even lubing or greasing a steel spur will cause it to attract and hold dirt and grit. So it’s a no for me dog.
I put grease on the spur just on the teeth. I am careful not to get it anywhere else, and I am not having any problems. plus, the centrifugal force will want to fling the grease outwards, away from the slipper.Given that this gear is the key part of the slipper clutch, putting grease anywhere near there seems like a bad idea.
