I'm not sure the 2 oz bottle of Neo Lube is enough to do the job[/QUOTE]

I was pretty liberal with mine when I coated the slip yoke and still had enough to do it again 2 or 3 more times. You don't need much. I've been coating whatever I can with the left over stuff lately. Ive found it's great for ball mounts too.

I can't find a link to it now, but I used the stuff mentioned in this thread.

It is mentioned in that thread that it is a replacement for the blue (I also read that when I bought mine about a year ago), but I can't confirm that. Anyway, it came in a kit designed for single use. I may pick up some of that blue stuff and use it with the Neo Lube.

Good to hear it should go a long way. I also saw that I can use it to blacken the wheels on toy train sets. Not that I have any of those.

Just curious, as I seem to be developing the bump. It happens a few feet from a stop. It's not a clunk, but more of a bump. Weird.

So far I've experimented with the Ford XG-8 teflon grease, the Ford white teflon grease, 50% moly paste, and 50% moly paste cut with synthetic ATF. None of them have lasted through an entire oil change and typically slip bump comes back in a few thousand miles. Putting a Raptor trans mount in this week to see if it helps.

What would the mount do for it?

The Raptor mount is meant for a more powerful drivetrain, and uses a denser rubber to help control the shudder

What could be going on that 4 different products have not lasted "an oil change for him?"

I was wondering the same thing. I suspect the one cut with ATF didn't have enough viscosity to stay in the joint. Not sure about the others. Not enough lube? Inadequate application?

Not sure if that raptor mount will necessarily fix a slip yoke bump, but I haven't looked into it.

The problem is that "buck" used Moly *PASTE*. That stuff is only (ONLY) designed for static contact joints (no movement). It dries out and fails. It is not a "grease". Grease is the vehicle that allows the components in the grease to move with a dynamic joint. Moly-Graph has 2% molybdenum and graphite. If you do some reading on what molybdenum does to metal, you would be impressed (a large moly mine is in Climax, CO - just went through there a few weeks ago. Pulled a 3/4t Dodge out of a snowy ditch)

The slip yoke is definitely a dynamic joint. Paste would be useless in this application. Mixed with anything... Must have grease. And the cool thing is, it's pretty cheap. Here's what I use: http://www.crcindustries.com/product...oz-SL3330.html

Shudder? What shudder?
