Rebuilding the 231 and putting an SYE on there. Would it be worth my while to pack the bearings with grease or will the ATF in the case be enough?

I never heard of anyone packing the bearings, but it couldn't hurt!

Hell I pack my d44 bearings, doesn't seem many others do though. Doesn't seem to matter.

The grease mixing with ATF probably won't be the best combo. I'd use a bit of grease to hold the needle bearings in place, otherwise I would leave the rest dry... if anything put some ATF in them.

DO NOT GREASE THEM!!! it will make the tcase explode. Get a lil tub of tranny fluid, dip the whole thing in that and that will be plenty.

It might not be the right thing to do... but it's not gonna make the case explode...

The rear output bearing on the SYE had some grease on it already, so that's why I was curious. Ended up being too lazy to grease any of the others. Hell, I ended up being too lazy, and a little distracted by my beautiful wrenching assistant, to complete the job the other night anyways.
