I remember it felt like it was packed with thick sludge when it was brand new. I had to reposition my dump pipe today and took it off, and even when cold now it felt noticibly easier to spin. Also when shutting the car off while hot it takes about 10-12 seconds to stop spinning, and while cold it takes at most 2-3 seconds.
I haven't greased it again yet till I get a response. If it changes at all after pumping the grease in I'll report back but I doubt it.
Happy to report zero shaft play too.
