tranny oil change HELP!!!!!

I have a 2006 street glide i was servicing today, and I pulled the wrong plug and drained my tranny. I have a ride tommorow i really want to go on, no motorcycle store open around me on sundays. I do have a bottle of lucas oil 85w 140 heavy duty high performace transmission and diff oil. lucas website says ideal for older gear boxes with special climbing additives in their motorcylce section and has a picture of an old Indian motorcycle below it. Will this work, is it ok to run, if it is ok to run should I change it the first chance i get. Any suggustions comments or any help greatly appreciated.

I agree it will work just fine. But just a thought on the trans oil that you drained. Was it in a clean pan? If so, just dump it back in the trans and your good to go.

No you will be fine with this oil in your trans. No need to drop it anytime soon.

Can u go to autozone or auto parts store and get some mobile v-twin? I believe that can be used in all 3 holes.

This is true. It can be used in all three however you will be better served using gear oil. It has different additives in it and is more shear stable. I use red line shockproof heavy but any 70w-90 or 70w-140(warmer climate)will work just fine.
Enjoy the ride. Report back on your thoughts on it in the tranny,any improvements or anything.
