Default RE: Gear oil?

Hey Ted,

I may be wrong, but I always thought a wet clutch was one that shared the same oil that lubricates the crank case. If so, wouldn't that mean that our HD's don't have a wet clutch?

I think the best way to go is ,

HD primary oil in the primary, cheapest and has proven itself for countless years to work

I prefer Mobil 1 V Twin in the engine ( the best IMHO)

Redline shock proof heavy in the trans ( used in 1000 HP drag race cars diferentials)

Of course this is only my opinions.

HDs have wet clutches in that they operate in an oil bath. Doesn't matter whether it shares with crankcase, or tranny for that matter.
