Basic Gearbox / Clutch Grease Question

Ok, I thought all I needed was high temperature lithium grease, for the input shaft.

 

Then I discovered spline grease, specifically for splines. However, spline grease should not be used on pivot ballpoints, so should I use normal grease here?

 

Then there is the folk, where it connects to the thrust bearing carrier, again, normal grease?

 

I reckon I should use HT lithium grease, or spine grease, on the shaft. Then either lithium, or any normal grease on the pivot and folk.

 

Obviously don't want to have to drop the gearbox and redo this, so any help would be appreciated. :)

Opened my grease today...thought perhaps I'd put my gearbox back on if it wasn't too cold this weekend...

 

However....

Does this look like Lithium EP grease?!

NO!

 

This topped off my perfectly crappy day!

 

At least it came with Fizzers though.

 

Sorry, rant over...
