crankshaft lube

Howdy everybody.

I swapped my stock vari for an OKO, and I think I could use some sort of lube on the shaft (lol) and/or drive boss. Things are getting pretty warm in the drive case and I believe it has to do with improper lubrication.

Any recommendations on what kind of lube or grease I might try? Help is much appreciated, as always.

no lube needed at variator sleeve. can use lithium grease on rollers, but not needed elsewhere, otherwise can get on belt and not what you want.

Just take off the rear pulley half and it will run much cooler.
