Default Tranny Fluid?
98 FLHRCI with 5 speed
I had to drop my tranny fluid so I could swap out my clutch cable. I have always used Formula 1 but I do not have any on the shelf and it is sixty miles to the dealer. Anyone have a suitable alternative that I mite get at the parts house?

Thanks
Brad

Why do I think of Spanners every time I see a topic with tranny in it?
