That was the wrong thing to do, unfortunately. Antiseize is not lubricant for precision sliding parts.

I think you're gonna need to pull the gearbox back down, clean all that stuff off...and use the correct grease. Especially on the release bearing guide.

Anti-seize is going to start chewing up the surface of the guide. It will also start clumping up and drying out and you'll see issues with pedal push/release in like 1 month or so.

Did you buy a new guide when you did the job?

When you pull this back down (either now or when you start seeing the problems, if you aren't too keen on this advice), use a new guide, thoroughly clean the antiseize off, and use Honda HT Urea grease.

Generic polyurea might work too...but...for the amount of trouble you'll need to go thru if it doesn't, I'd just use the sure thing.

 

Well, that isn't the news I wanted to hear, but it's helpful to know. At least I'm an expert at removing the gearbox now haha
I think I'll wait until I start having any kind of issues with the clutch, or if I have a free Saturday, then I'll drop the box down and use urea grease on those areas.
