trany fluid in crankcase????

[billysblaster]

I have heard that you can run trany fluid in the crankcase instead of 10-30 but i am very leary of it. Any ideas about this.

The tranny fluid would go in the trans/gearbox not the crank case. You dont add anything to the crank case it is lubed by your premix!!!!!!!!!!

I know some guys do it. I see no harm in it, it is a trans. I think you have to run type F tranny fluid.

I am thinking about switching over to it but unsure if you should change the clutch plates or not. Since the are soaked in regular oil alread.

One thing to remember that you are only running it in the trans of the Blaster. You run trans fluid in the trans of your car right not motor oil.

Also welcome to the site.......

I run Bel ray gear saver, from what I have heard is that tranny fluid is rough on the clutches.

Tranny fluid (I assume you mean ATF) is designed for clutches. What do you think is in an automatic transmission. Amsoil super shift 10w ATF is the best oil for 2 stroke transmissions period. More power to the ground and the best feeling clutch ever. If you fan the clutch a lot when you ride or on your hole shot, this is the only stuff you should be using.

I like red atf cuz it looks good in my clutch window

Been running ATF in motocross racers for over 15 years. No problems.

Can you just switch out the motor oil for ATF? Or do you need to switch after rebuilding the bottom end or replace the plates?

 

[brandoz28]

the atf will clean it out....i'd run it for a little while and then drain it, and put fresh in
