Just put some type f ATF in my primary it has a extra plate engery one clutch with a Barnett spring conversion, the clutch now engages very abruptly and grabs real hard any ideas what fluid I should be using .

Spectro primary oil

I believe that proper primary fluid is the go JMHO and never had any issues

 Was using spectro primary oil before the ATF it functioned ok with the spectro but was hard to find neutral so I gave the ATF a go.

I adjusted the clutch when I but the ATF in , when you feed the lever out slowly all is ok but when you give it Some revs and let the lever out fast it grabs real hard and harsh.

I have drained the ATF and put in some castrol mix 75-80 tranny oil have not taken it for a test yet see how it goes tomorrow.

I thought I read somewhere to soak the clutch plates in your primary oil before fitting them if true how long for is it just to coat them evenly or are they supposed to soak into the non metal rings? If so how long?

Cheers mate thanx

 

i use to use atf for awhile but went to 10/30 motor oil as i found the the primary to be a bit noiser with the atf but still prefure belrays primary oil when i feel rich but i would check your ajustment first ,remeber to have a touch freeply on lever too
