ATF as Gear Lube

I only run the type F in my 2smokers and have longer lasting clutches. The biggest part is a qt of type F is about 98 cents to a qt of name brand motor oil at $5+ dollars. I will have to try the dexxron III and see what it does. But if tranny fluid can take the abuse of a 2,000+ pound vehicle for thounds of miles then these little rice rockets can reap the benifits of the fluid. :lol:

if only the oil companies would tell us exactly what is in the product, like food does...

KXcam22, Hey waiting to hear what you think about the ATF. Still happy with the results?? What about the other oils you were testing??

I'm running Castrol 10w40 right now, noticing a bit of hard shifting.  Think if I used ATF fluid I would benefit more from it and make for smoother shifting?  I used maxima mtl 80w at the beginning of the year, but I change the oil every time out, usually 2-3 times a week, so I made the change because of costs, I also made the change when I put a new clutch in.  I heard somewhere its not good to just change to a diff. fluid with the same clutch, its best to do it when its a new clutch.
