RE: HD Oil or GEARSAVER

I'm sorry I meant HD TransOIL not Synthetic.

Let me try again. What Tranny oil do you use?
If you have tried Gearsaver what are your thoughts?

I've never heard of Gear Saver so I can't help there. I use Amsoil 75W90 synthetic gear oil because I can get it at my HD dealer.

RE: HD Oil or GEARSAVER

The "gear saver" I use is from Bel-Ray. I changed at the 1000 mile mark and went with Royal Purple. Reason being myinner thighwas getting cooked every time I would ride from the heat. Now that it is cold here, I sure coulduse that heat again. No really, it does shift smooth, you will still hearthe "clunk" when you shift but it does seem to be smoother especially trying to get into neutral. I would highly recommend it. IMHO! Remi

I am getting ready to change the trans fluid using the Redline shockproof heavy. It's been getting a lot of good reviews from the folks here. Will report the results when I get done.

I use Mobil 1 75-90 Synthetic Gear Oil in Spring and Fall, Mobil 1 90-140 Synthetic gear oil in the summer. Very smooth shifting, great performance so far.
