I cleaned everything but it was still grainy, so I think the thrust bearing is up next to replace (even though I used ceramic thrust bearing balls it's probably past the best life). I nowadays use a gear diff (in my 201) though, which also works well so far, so I feel no need to rush

Yeah i have tried the AW grease and the VG diff plate grease. The hard friction damper grease too. Its stickier than the AW stuff. Definitely better than diff lube on the backs of the plates, i found that they still slip on high grip surfaces though. I have a spare diff so i can leave the glued one soaking in Acetone overnight to remove the plates once in a while. It all depends what surfaces you race on as to whether you need to bother to glue them IMO.
