Yeah, I just did my starter. The FSM indicates high temp grease
on the planetary gear assembly as well as the shaft the pinion gear
slides on (both spiral and smooth parts), the ends of the plastic fork piece where it touches other parts and the solenoid plunger.
I would think the shaft, fork and plunger would be the place to use the grease sparingly. Use just enough so that it doesn't build up
on edges of the moving parts.
