Question VICKS! For Top Loader "pre-assembly grease"?

Kind of an off the wall question as I suspect not many members have rebuilt their own transmissions, or have they?

I've heard that using just any old grease to hold the needle bearings in place during reassembly is not a good idea. Rumor has it that some grease may block the oil holes and not let the trans oil in there, thus damaging those little roller bearings.

So,,, how about VICKS Vapor rub? Or, but not as much fun, petroleum jelly?

What DO you guys use?
