01blckbansh Posted May 7, 2007 Report Posted May 7, 2007 what oil would be the best to soak the new clutch plates in ? going to install my new clutch later in the week. Quote
bansheefreak Posted May 7, 2007 Report Posted May 7, 2007 type f trans fliud .. the same kind you put in the clutch after you install it... Quote
dajogejr Posted May 7, 2007 Report Posted May 7, 2007 what oil would be the best to soak the new clutch plates in ? going to install my new clutch later in the week. Use the same fluid you plan on running in the tranny. I used to use bel ray gearsaver 80W, but my override tranny says to use ATF Type F...so, that's what I use... Quote
Bansh-eman Posted May 7, 2007 Report Posted May 7, 2007 really? so you started to run atf now? i run gear saver too... is it the override from jeff? Quote
dajogejr Posted May 7, 2007 Report Posted May 7, 2007 Yep...three things the instructions said specifically to do. 1. Run 2 qts of ATF type F in the tranny. 2. Upon first starting the bike, put the bike in first gear with the clutch pulled in for 1 minute so the 5th gear pinion gets lubed and doesn't weld itself to the shaft, after this...it'll be fine. 3. Make a few runs at half throttle to make sure shifting is ok.... Quote
Bansh-eman Posted May 7, 2007 Report Posted May 7, 2007 (edited) humm good to know... im one of those guys that doesnt read instructions when i get new toys Edit: i guess ill be changing my tranny alot more too then casue that shits going to break down faster then the gearsaver i assume too...

dajogejr Posted May 7, 2007 Report Posted May 7, 2007 Yep...but at less than half the price...it's easier on the wallet, I"m sure...LOL. Plus, easier to find. I figured if it was important enough for Jeff to include in the box he sent it to me in, it was important enough for me to read.... Quote

Snopczynski Posted May 8, 2007 Report Posted May 8, 2007 Soak it in whatever oil your gonna use in your trans. Quote
01blckbansh Posted May 8, 2007 Author Report Posted May 8, 2007 thanks guys. i needed the help. do'nt want to mess up a brand new clutch. Quote

Not sure, Cam.... I got a 1-5 Neutral down, dunable...and that's what it says. I've read plenty of folks here and on PS using ATF in their non-dunable overrides as well...as I'm sure you have too.

77scoutracer Posted May 9, 2007 Report Posted May 9, 2007 what oil would be the best to soak the new clutch plates in ? going to install my new clutch later in the week. I've had good luck with valvoline MAXLIFE,but my tranny is stock.My brother recently got an 1-6 neutral down override from jeff and the directions also said run type f. I have been running maxlife for the past two summers with a F.A.S.T. clutch and have had no trouble,also it's handy going to parts store on sunday to get it. Quote
