run it till its hot, drain it and fill it with the regular stuff, should be simple enough, make sure ya get through all the gears before ya park it to drain it.


i'm not the best wrench in the world but i would be concernd that the fluid is not your problem but your clutch is F#$KED up, ya might wanna pull off the primary and look at the plates

I kind of freaked out last night. been talking to some other people and it seems that I still don't have this thing adjusted right. I think I've got the throw out tightened up too much.
