Tremec TKO with Steeda Tri-Ax shifter. When I removed the shifter bezel today, I found a grey colored grease (??) puddled at the base of the shifter. I don't remember seeing this before. Is this normal?

My pro 5.0 has a big dollop of what looks like white grease lubricating the ball joint where the handle meets the base...I think that gray stuff may just be melted lube.

It has a bit of a metallic flavor, with a sweet aftertaste. Oops - looks like I'm letting my inner-child slip out as well. Next thing you know, I'll be back in diapers.
