Shell Gadus S2 V100 2 is not designed to assist clutch bearing grip. The fact that we use it for that purpose does not mean it was designed for that purpose.
Shell Gadus S2 V100 2 is designed as a "High performance multipurpose grease". And its application is primarily for bearings (roller bearings, ball bearings etc).
I use it for the metal gears only in my testing. Because it is compatible with metal, and its what i have on hand here in Spain right now (when you are in the middle of nowhere you kinda dont have a lot of options you know...). So i obviously do not recommend other people trying this approach.
However, im not sure if it could do any worse than the Molykote PG75, which started to fail after 500km. Im about 150km in on the Shell Gadus and time will tell which is the better performer.
Now, the OKS270 has PTFE added to it. So while that might be a good grease for the gears, it would obviously be bad for the clutches.
But perhaps we need something with lower friction on those gears to keep temperatures lower. Yes, its too bad we dont know what Shimano uses. So it will be trial and error sadly.
