It comes out a bit slow, just like you would expect 90wt to drain. No, not all the oil is replaced with a change due to its superior cling capability, which s considered a quality, especially in reference to tranny oil that you want lubed even with the first turn of the gears.
Well no. Since the oil is constantly "rinsing" the gears from running through it and getting splashed or slung onto them, the particulates sink and are found at the bottom of the tranny, and is first to get drained.
Hope this helps,
Bob
PS - Since the tranny doesn't suck air into it like the engine, the gearbox and gears are kept much cleaner than engine oil, which is why with regular 90wt, you can see the oil looks like new, even after 10,000 miles.
...and do particles stay stuck to it on the gears?.
Hope this helps,

Lots of years using it without anything negative. Also makes for discerning difference between tranny leak and primary leak due to color differences.

Just buy and install Shockprook Heavy (pink) or V-twin Transmission oil (the same with different label) as members here will attest, is a no-brainer.

Ron,
I am one of those newbies, also new to HD. I have ridden metric sport bikes for most of my life, so reading the comments on the oil are good for me since I am now on a touring bike. There is a difference on what you put in the engine when you are knee dragging compared to riding it on down the road, so I am learning left and right in here.
So far I have learned to use Amsoil, then I learned that Redline was better and possibly Dextron in the primary. All of this with less than 1,000 miles, of my riding, on the bike. The bike came with 27,000, so I still have a couple thousand before I have to "know" what I am going to put in there. Like Noz said earlier, it is confusing, but we're trying to keep up and I know we appreciate the information being shared.
Thanks,
Bruce.
