Dude,
If you have time to go ride tomorrow, you have time to fix your clutch. Using ATF will NOT fix a slipping clutch only a new clutch, ok maybe new springs will help, but change the clutch. so many times people get lazy and say they don't have time to fix something, then, tomorrow they'll come back and say they smoked a crank seal and blame it on the bike not the fact that they generated so much heat from the slipping clutch. On a personal note I wouldn't run ATF in my tranny, I know some swear by it but there have been some instances of gears seizing to the shafts, not sure if they were running ATF or not. there have been several posts discussing this but I'm not sure you could get a consensus.
not to be a dick but.....

I think the old guy should install a K sensor in his drain plug and see what transmission oil temp he is running with different weight gear oil and atf.
greencannon:
just fix the clutch. the continued slipping will only get worse real quick and then possibly leave you stranded.
