Default Redline Heavy 75/90 Substitute?
Hey guys, I'm changing out my clutch cable and I figured I would change my tranny fluid at the same time. I have looked all over the place locally and cannot find Redline 75/90 accept online; any suggestions to a comparable substitute? Something from Pepboys?

Thanks,
J

I filled all 3 holes with Amsoil 20w50 in my 2009 FLHX and will do the same for the 08 Screamin Eagle Dyna I just got.

Default Same as you this weekend
Royal Purple makes Max 75w90 for the tranny and Synchromax for the primary. I'm following other's lead here and going with Mobile 1 V-Twin 20w50 in the engine.

Forgot to mention, Pepboys carries Royal Purple most places.

Thanks; that sounds like something that I can find at a local shop!

I use Amsoil Severe Gear 75w110. It's supposed to give better protection than 90wt.

I also use the mobil 1 but in 75W-140. I love it. Smooth and easy to find neutral. I can honestly say I like it better than the Redline.
I get the Mobil 1 75-140 at my local advance auto.

I had AMS 90wt and switched to Bel ray gear saver 140, go with something in 110 or 140 weight, it takes some of the harshness out of the trans

I've used Mobil1 75-90 for 3 years, but will use their 75-140 after I'm out of 75-90.
