I changed my oil yesterday, and anyone thinking about putting ATF in the primary should do it, the clutch is so much more smooooth and it doesn't jump forward when you engage 1st gear in the morning

So for us dummies what does atf stand for?

 

alcohol tobacco and firearms

 

automatic transmission fluid (automotive)

 

atomic timing fluid, or just automatic trans fluid.

 

I don't see why someone would use such watery oil in a harley tranny. like the guy using lemon pledge to clean his bike....I'd be affraid of the eventual wax build -up which is why my moms had to strip the furniture after a while.....sheesh!

Aniti Tremmor Friction

 

The ATF is going in the primary, thats the big cover by your left foot, the one you shift with.

 

um, its not in the trans, i have Bel-Ray Gear Saver in that, atf is in my primary

 

OOPS my bad,still why that? When most of the other stuff is thicker.......I guess in that hole as long as it's wet it'll be ok.

 

The ATF is supposedly more compatible with the clutch friction plates and I beleive the most popular is type "F" ATF.
