The stuff is the best .... I say it REALLY makes a difference. You ALWAYS have to warm your twin cam engine before you go. I've took off too soon before in cooler weather and everything seems like ****. Was like that before Redline. Let her warm up real good.

I don't think there is any way to warm the tranny before driving off. This isn't a big issue. As I said, the only time it feels stiff is the first time you engage first gear.

You are right about the warming thing in the tranny. But I think as things start spalshing around in there, the oil somehow coats everything real good.
