Grease suggestion for gear shifter linkages

[gregoron]

I'm looking for an alternative for this VW Polyurea Grease that's quite a lot and very expensive:

I'm going to be using it for my car's 5 speed manual shift lever guide made of PVC that contacts with aluminum:

So far, I've used moly grease form WalMart and I wonder if this will be enough. Last year, I used just regular grease from a grease gun tube and after it dried out, my shifter experienced some notchiness. After greasing it with moly grease it shifts much better, but I don't know how long this will last and if it's the right grease for these two different materials.

Any help would be appreciated.

I've used spray white lithium grease and Super Lube on VW shifter linkages with good success.

I would try Red Line CV2 grease as I think it's a high-performance polyurea.

What I'm using for that type of application is silicone grease, specifically Dow-Corning 111 (aka plumbers grease). You can find it at some hardware/plumbing stores but it seems to be more common at industrial supply shops. It never dries and is water-proof. Similar to the grease used for urethane bushings, but not as stiff or tacky.
