Re Rubber Grease
If you use rubber grease on a clutch slave, you might get away with it. The problem is heat. If brake cylinders are lubed with rubber grease around the pistons & especially the bucket rubbers, the heat of the brakes will harden it into a deposit on the cylinder wall that will cause leakage. i.e. The heat range of some rubber greases does not match the"DOT" rating of the brake fluid. The "shelf" lubricant for brake parts is silicone based. The "Red" grease seems to have heat resisting capability. I use the silicone.
