Question ATF only for Barnett clutches?!!!

I was justa checking out the new Barnett Kevlar clutch plates I picked up today and noticed that it says "DO NOT use HD Formula + , etc but only use ATF and also to not pre soak the plates. I just last yr helped a bud change out his with a new Barnett and I don't recall it saying same tho I must admit not sure if his is a carbon or kevlar or ?.

I was just kinda curious as to why they don't want cha using Formula+ etc, any thought.........

Thanks...Scott

I would use Mobil1 ATF. Very robust and easy to find at any autozone or AAP.

Have the Barnett Scorpion in two bikes both with Kevlar frictions and using HD primary fluid,no problems in 6 yrs.The ATF to use is the Ford designated type.Whenever have a concern go the the horses mouth,and call Barnett,they are the pro's.
