Default Clutch Oil

I have always thought the clutch on my 2011 WG was a bit "grabby", more so when cold. I have tried different adjustments and oils. I just did a 3-hole oil & filter. Put Dexron III ATF in primary, and adjusted clutch 1 turn out from seated. Best clutch "feel" so far. Much easier & smoother to "feather" at very low speed. Seems to lock-up the same. Just thought some of you would like to know.

Keep an eye on the metal particulate when you drop your primary oil... ATF feels good... but I don't think it's the best lubricant for the primary's parts.

Nice in the winter. Some custom clutch makers spec it. Mighty thin for that inner primary bearing. Mobile on their website said not to use it for Harley Transmissions. They implied it would be noisy.

The last time I looked for that, I didn't see that note anymore.

Your pretty far north. So you can probably get away with it..
