RE: What TRANS oil do you use?

If you use syn3 in your tranny, youre playin with fire. 20w50 is not heavy enough for a transmission.

So far the Redline Shockproof Heavy is working very well for me. Trans shifts very nicely and does not seem as noisy as with the Syn 3.

RE: What TRANS oil do you use?

Man, you guys got me scared! Ok so I only have 4500 miles.. I'm dropping that stuff out of my bike this weekend if I can. Screw waiting to 5000. And yes, I've noticed the bike shifts pretty clunky, and I've not been overly impressed with the engine at idle also.. Sounds like too many parts rubbing and bouncing around. That crap is coming out of there THIS weekend.

Ditto what txHarleyman said. I use 75-90 synthetic & trying to locate some Amsoil gear oil.

RE: What TRANS oil do you use?

Would Royal Purple 75X140 work in the Trany or is it to heavy? I am changing my three holes at 600 miles. I have the RP along with ATF from my F250 and would like to not have to look for more.
