Wow, this is the best video I've seen on servicing the clutch! Very thorough and easy to follow. I recently serviced mine because when I ride down chunky terrain the chain falls a few gears. I did grease it as you described essentially after watching a park tool video and for 2-3 rides the clutch did better, however it reoccurred. Maybe I have to adjust the clutch? I'll refer to that video. Please advise if you have other suggestions. Thanks!

Hi, thnak you for your comment and I'm sorry for not being able to reply to you sooner.Thanks for your kind words! I'm glad you found the video helpful. I hope you've managed to resolve this issue by now. I'm curious to know what the problem was, so if you have a moment, please share! If not and the chain is still dropping gears after servicing the clutch, adjusting the clutch tension might be a good next step.

hello, which grease do you use on the clutch? unfortunately In my country i can't found Y04121000 (shimano dealer's manual). Thank You.

[@cyclemaintenanceacademy]

Hi, and thanks for your question. A lithium grease is a good alternative for lubricating the clutch.

[@PaulC.494]

What do you think is the best grease to use for shimano derailleur clutch ?

[@cyclemaintenanceacademy]

Hi, and thanks for your question. Shimano recommends to use either the grease for Shadow Plus Rear Derailleur - Y04121000 or Shimano gear hub grease. I hope this helps

Can I use premium green grease on the shadow rd +??

[@cyclemaintenanceacademy]

Apologies for not replying sooner! Yes, the premium grease can be used on Shadow RD+.
