Default Convert to Royal Purple 75 - 140 for Tranny

For the last couple of months I have been uncomfortable with the clanking sound upon down-shifting and stationary to neutral. Read in these corners that it was reliable. Man sounds are muted and shifts real easy. No longer hitting neutral on shifting to second no matter how fast I shift. If the long run is as good as stated I am a convert even at 25 bucks a quart.

I was just wondering cause I run 80w90 semi synthetic made by motor factory for harley transmissions and I don't have any loud clunking or problems shifting.I think having that engine oil in the trans. was your problem.
