Transmission fluid
#21
I have to be honest, I am still suprised at the controversy over the fluids needed and used on everyone's bike's. I just figure they must make grear oil and tranny fluid for a reason!!! I am not suprised by the many various brands used or talked about here but I am suprised at the various weights used. What wieght is it that Harley uses and recomends? I still can't even get an answer for that. I am not going to say anyone is wrong but I do ellect to use gear oil in my tranny. I am also going to try to locate some Red line and start out this spring with that in there. If I don't like, back to Amsoil I go and there I will stay.

I just switched to redline with shockproof and it was thick as hell going in. But I love the improved shifting the reduced noise and neutral is like butter. I read alot of posts before trying it and had a local indy shop tell me to use it and I am happy so far. I switched to Redline primary fluid also. Still using Mobil in the engine for now.

Really,,, this just shows us that U have no idea of what to do...
When I was new to HD's I'd at least read and loook in here before I'd ask a question..
U really need to do the same....
IF U use the same oil in all three,,, How do U tell a diff in them???
LOOK through the OIL Treads in here,, I know U may have to spend an little time,, but U'll be surprised at what U'll learn...
HERE I'll even give U the link,, cause U haven't look in here to know what the forum has to offer. Nor has anyone else offered to help you to find it.

I talked to an experienced hand, and he told me that doping the threads is a carryover from the days when the Harley O-rings were junk from a low bidder.
