[QUOTE="SRAD97750, post: 118786, member: 425"] An automatic transmission in a car uses similar components as a dirtbike transmission. Being that my bikes are "constant mesh" style gears, the mating faces of the gears never change. There is little to no wear due to this design. ATF more than covers this duty. Being that automatic transmissions deal with clutches (shear pressure on oil) and high heat (thermal breakdown), I am confident that it will perform in a dirtbike application. Automatic Transmissions go hundreds and hundreds of hours between changes. We want to go 10 hrs... maybe... Now that FACT is out of the way, let's talk opinion. I have used it in all my 2T transmissions. Love the red color, gives you a heads up on any leaks. The clutch feel is DIFFERENT and not to everyone's liking. I like it. Never had the clutch "fade" using ATF. My 2 cents is that, we (dirtbikers) change our oils regularily and frequently. I feel this avoids any issues that could come up from using one type over another. Use what you like... [/QUOTE]
