while atf will work and i have posted this before .. it doesnt have the cling propertys of regular oil even just using 20w50 is better.. atf is good for the clutch no doubt but not enough lube will carry onto chain and sprockets .. you must remember that ATF is usually run under pressure not in a sling operations..
Now anyone that has a 4x4 will say what about the transfer case they use atf there .. sure do for milage conserdations only a truly used TCase that has atf instead of gear lube will fail first the parts dont get as much lube since again there is no cling..
