tranny gunk
Hi guys n gals!
Listen there was a thread a couple of years back and I looked for it ( trust me) about some stuff to put in the tranny to clean out this grey gunk that I noticed in there last time I did a three hole fluid change. Does anyone know what the stuff was? I don't think it was sea foam that is for something else. I'm about to do a fluid change but would like to know what that stuff is so I can use some.

I found "Grey Mud" in my tranny when I was changing a clutch cable a couple years back..
Had my mechanic look into it a little deeper. Uppon tear-down, he discoverd that the mainshaft bearing had spun in the housing!
The bike was still on ESP so the MoCo covered a full repair/rebuild. (minus a $50 deductable)
Not tryin' to throw up any red flags, just tellin' my story.
The "grey Mud" was settled particles of the alloy from the tranny case.
Hope this helps...
Best wishes....Tim(HT)
