Default Trans oil?

Is there anyone using Redline Heavyduty Shockproof in their EVO tranny?&nbsp\\; If so do you like it?

I used Amsoil but I keep reading a lot of guys here do like the Redline trans oil. Some even swear by it............

Can't speak to the Evo tranny, but in my H-D Screamin' Eagle 6-speed retro-fit, it's all I've run. It was recommended by the shop that installed the gear set, and aside from it taking soooooo long to drain when it's time for service, I haven't used anything but. I've got the smoothest, quietest shifting I've ridden, no clunk into 1st gear, just a click, and other than the usual clack from gear to gear, it's been great. I had an output shaft leak at 15k, probably due to a mis-fit when the gear set was reinstalled, and when the seal was replaced, I heard everything looked brand new. It should, at only 12k on a gear set, but I've been pleased.
