Just go to shucks (or your closest auto supply store) and ask them for lithium based greased. I believe its white but i cant remember; its been a while. Just ask them and make sure its out of an arosol can.

First of all, the FSM said the grease should be hi-temp. grease. Any grease for high-temp use is good. I was using hi-temp bearing grease. All good.
Secondly, since you would remove the air duct up to throttle body, it's harmless to do a TB cleaning.
Good luck and keep us posted.

ok finally did the starter today ... it wasn't that bad at all ... the hardest part in my opinion was getting the 2 bolts off, they required a lot of manual torque ... lol ... I'm in class right now, but when I get out I'll do the write up with the pictures ...
