Default ATF in primary

I've read a few posts about using ATF as primary lubricant. Specifically B&M Trick Shift and Hurst High Performance. Anybody using these or other products.

I'm probably one of thosewho has posted about using B&M Trick Shift. I have tried all kinds of fluid in the primary last year and found that the B&M worked and felt the best as far as the clutch went. I just emailed Barnettlast week about the same question and here's the email. HTH, Bryan

[/align]I have a 99 HD Road Glide, FLTR/I I bought your extra plate clutch kit from JP Cycles. I'm getting ready to put it in and was wondering what oil do you reccomend? 10/40 20/50 Synthetic,Dino or ATF Fluid? Thanks Bryan[/align]
[/align]Reply,[/align][/align]ATF type F works well, but any m/c oil will be fine.[/align][/align]Thanks,[/align]Barnett's[/align][/align][/blockquote]
