Can I put royal purple engine oil in my gearbox?

[Banshee Chad]

I just put oil in the gas... No need for anything else.

 

Seriously, I run klots flexdrive in the tranny.. and I only change it once a year or so. Haven't even changed it this year as it only got rode once last year.

[bigtizzles]

so what about the ATF?

[shadowbanshee]

I use super tech walmart atf type f in my 2002 tyranny for two years no issues. Although it does get dirty pretty fast so i've been thinking of changing cause Ik they wont make 1970s ford atf for ever.

Now this might sound stupid but, what if you have put a 30 oil in the engine and the clutch has started slipping ,what to do? I now that you need to change the oil, but before you put new ATF Type F in it, something else?

 

Reason i´m asking is cus i told my brother to change oil for me whe i was out of town, he did and when we got back we spended tow hours or so playing around in the forest.. i noticed yesterday that its starting to slip in the clutch... Please, help..anyone..

Use single weight oils, which do not have VIs and aren't susceptible to degradation in the transmission. However, single weight oils do not flow well in cold conditions, reducing overall lubrication until the oil has warmed up. An alternative is to use a synthetic oil. Synthetic oil are designed to have good cold-flow properties yet maintain high viscosity with fewer VIs.

Energy Conserving (EC) oil can cause wet clutches to slip

He´s been riding quads for years so i figured he knew what he was doing, but as it turns out he doesnt know jackshit about two strokles.. just 4-chokes LOL

Any oil that has JASO MA or JASO MA2 specs on the bottle is ok to put in for your gear oil. This is the wet clutch approved spec. Royal Purple syncro mesh is ok to put in there.

AMSOIL Synthetic Super Shift Racing ATF is the the best stuff you can put in a 2 stroke wet clutch gear box PERIOD.

Been using it for years. . Highest shear, will take more heat than anything. more power to the

ground especially in cold weather and did I say best feeling clutch ever.
