Open gear linkage - lubricate?

[Karls]

Does anyone with the open gear linkage tend to lubricate any of the moving joints inbetween services? I’m assuming it sees some form of lubrication at a service?

Also, how much slack/play should there be front to back when in neutral? I feel the need to tinker.

I don't believe there is any need to, so wouldn't start trying to add dust attractors unless you're having problems.

Very little play in mine fore/aft when in neutral, but if it's not a problem I'm not sure I'd go looking for problems in it and buggering it up, only adjustment I needed to make after a bit was the reverse lock out as others have done

They are actually all nylon bushings, which generally don't like grease.

Ah, ok chaps, thanks for the advice. I’ll leave well alone!
