copemech Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 Any alternatives worth using? Dextron III? Or should i just stick to the PJ1? Personally, I would stick with the PJ1 or other proper gear oil unles for some reason you need the quicker bite of ATF, and even then not run the cheap stuff. High quality fully synthetic ATF is available. It is not inexpensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 I have been using Golden Spectro gear lube in my bike. (my Dad swore by the stuff, he gave me a bunch when he quit riding.) When that runs out I will probably check into Amsoil for gear lube (not sure what they got). I like their 2 stroke oil. Just my personal opinion that ATF is for Automatic Transmissions, My bike is manual gears hence I go with a motorcycle specific wet clutch Gear lube. When I get an auto trans trials bike I will put ATF in it. Stick with the PJ1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beta bodger Posted March 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 Ok just a query but what weight should it be 75w or 80w? I think i have been using 75w but it seems very thin. I want ultimate protection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmck Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 We use Red Lines 80wt Motorcycle Gear Oil w/shockproof and the bikes have never shifted better. It's about the best protection you can buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
