HD uses gear oil in the trans????? What would that product number be????.....Trans gear oil should be put in there but what does your owners manual tell you to put in there.....I'll use the Shock Proof thank you....

I wondering why the hell someone would change out a manual transmissions oil so often do you change it out that often in a cars tranny?Me thinks the MOCO(the MOCOs agenda is obvious$$$$$$$$) and a lot of RUBS obsess over maintaining their toys..........remember there is NO COMBUSTION goin on in a tranny so no real need to change it that often.

I agree with that.....Most people never change the fluid in their cars transmissions or gear boxes and drive them for tens of thousands of miles with no issues.....

I Just Traded an 07 softail in on a 11 SG and I NEVER changed the oil in that tranny(30,000mi) and NEVER had an issue with it, Some things are best left alone IMHO

You got me, I have to ask. What does RUBS mean? I'm guessing some kind of yuppie wannabe with a motorcycle status symbol.

...ding..ding..ding!..we have a winner...I have never seen so many folks waste so much money and good oil as Harley owners..I know guys that change tranny and primary fluid with every oil change, and they're doin it every 3000 miles! Tranny fluid is good for 10,000 miles...and anyone running Syn oil in engine should be going 7500 miles before changes..hey you want to feel better by dumpin it out at 3K?...be my guest...to each his own...it's your money and a free country..
