I pulled my Corvair steering box last night because I wanted to make backlash/play adjustment on the bench. Once I made the adjustment, I decided to top off the lubricant but to my surprise I found that it didn't have gear lube but rather it has a grease like lubricant. Has anyone seen this before? Is this normal? My 1961 Corvair shop manual spells it out as a special formulated lubricant but doesn't get any more specific than that.
I added a couple of photos for clarity.
Thanks in advance for any help.
