In checking all lube points on my smta I took the cover off the worm gear housing.Previous owner had the housing packed with grease,service manual calls for 80 wt gear oil I think both of these choices are to thick should I remove the grease and fill with hy-trans have some left over from ta job.Paul.

If the steering box is packed with grease it's probably because the lower (pivot shaft) seal is worn, letting the original fill of gear oil leak out. Someone before you then packed the gearbox with grease.

It's fine to leave the grease you found in there. It'll lubes the worm gear set as good (or better than...) gear oil, and it won't run out!
