I recently had a 7MM. transmission that felt particularly sticky, so I soaked it in mineral spirits, and it freed up to the point of having virtually no resistance to turning until it gets the light snap at the fully extended position.
I remember a discussion several weeks ago regarding the thick coating that the wonderful folks in Asia put on the parts to inhibit rust, is it smart to remove the goo and have the transmissions feel as though there is no resistance, or allow them to be stiff, also what would a person do to lubricate them (no wd40 it's not a lubricant) or does it seem necessary?
