Good day, M. McKnittle:

I have purchased a few from Quad4x4 over the years and it looks like they just include Ultra Caliper Lube as the pivot lube.

Is OEM plastic or steel?
Although you need some lubrication grease breaks down most plastics.
What does the FSM reccomend?

Pretty sure OEM is steel, per Quad 4x4 and every stock original clutch setup I've pulled.

The upgrade would be the plastic one. I haven't noticed a difference between the two in the short run though.
