brumby Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 Hi Guys - this is my first topic although I've been a member for some time. In South Africa most riders are using ATF D 2 or 3 without any problem despite the fact that most events take place in temperatures well above 30 degrees C. Recently there's been a switch to Synthetic ATF (D6) which in my opinion is far superior in all respects over the mineral based versions. Has anyone else out there tried it?

copemech Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 I doubt you will get a lot of specific answers on that fluid, however I can tell you I have used similar fluids for many years in a Sherco(similar) clutch system without issue. I have primarily used the Mercedes fluid, however I think overall they are similar, and all said you will likely get a typical more snappy clutch as compared to the thicker fluids(gear oil), and if you are ok with that you should likely be fine. The entire idea behind ATF is that it IS cheap to use and dump often, so tune and use to taste! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprinter 27 Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 Using amsoil synthetic ford ATF is the norm in 2 stroke transmissions here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve fracy Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 We have been using D6 for two years with very good results. Now using Amsoil super shift which is their equivalent to that product, and works as good or better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve fracy Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 That is correct! AC Delco Dextron VI. But the new Amsoil super shift is just as good if not better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
