That turned dry and tacky within a year, so I removed the shifter and did it all again recently when I replaced the clutch. This time I used white Lithium grease, and it's fantastic. Don't use too much in the center reverse lockout plunger or it'll hydrolock and get jammed.
Thanks for the tip.

I'm planning to use some good quality Mos2 grease (much like the original black stuff you can see in the pictures).

I'll let you know how I get on with it.
