That paste you refer to I was wondering if it is a brass coloured.  If so I would
suggest that your synchronizer rings may be wearing.  Someone on the list posted
this some time ago.  Needless to say any particles of metal coming out of the
transmission is not a good sign.

How is the shifting.  Do the gears clunk when changing down.
