I was thinking the same, then it may be a little easier with a small amount of oil slopping around to keep the gear change shafts sort of lubed.

Sounds good, if you could seal it, the rod would need an oil seal as well and then you would have another source for an oil leak.

When they are clean and well greased they move pretty smoothly, it's not like anything in there is rotating or moving at high speed.

Hi,

the change is not really designed to be fully sealed and as it uses grease and not oil then the small drain hole lets any water out that may have got in there.
