Re: Trans Oil Poll

Jeez, I'm the only one using Mobil 1 75/140?

Maybe I need to switch to the Redline Heavy.

I used the M 1 75/140 and also 75/90 coming from Red line shockproof and the Spectro has them beat hands down , I wouldn't say this unless I could see or feel a noticeable difference.

I changed the 6 Speed yesterday at 4200 in the BBB and I like it enough to put it back in! No metal shavings and I can feel the increased smoothness when I shift.

No it really makes a difference, I'm going to swap out trans oil in the other bikes as they come due.

Re: Trans Oil Poll

In my 1990 FLHS I use Amsoil. I rebuilt transmission a few months ago and I wanted something to better protect all the new parts I put in. I think trans shifts smoother and is quiet.
