Rotax 670 02-10-2002, 12:01 PM Is anybody running automatic transmission fluid in there chain case instead of gear lube ? I would like to try it on my radar run sled . Any input on this would be appreciated. http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif mike800z 02-10-2002, 12:54 PM atf is what we used in our grass drag sleds. its cheap especially when you`re trying differant gears and have the cover off a bunch of times. the bearings in the chaincase are sealed and atf will do a good job keeping the chain lubed paul yarek 02-10-2002, 03:47 PM rotax 670, *i've heard of some guys using dish soap in the chaincase. rotaryvalvesrule 02-10-2002, 04:33 PM IS IT OK TO RUN ATF IF THE INSIDE SHEILD IS TAKEN OFF THE BOTTOM CHAINCASE BEARING? THE BEARING WOULD THEN BE IMMERSED IN THE ATF. FINNBEAR 02-10-2002, 11:35 PM I use a Mobil one synthetic gear lube 75w90 with 2 oz. of ER, cuts friction, stays clean with the ER added - no metal fillings like with Ski-Doo chain case oil, racers use the ER, need I say more. Machzzzz1 02-11-2002, 09:42 AM Only run atf if your going to be opening the case a lot to save money. *If your just going to do an inspection and then re fill put the doo syntetic in. idooski 02-11-2002, 11:57 AM ATF is fine to run. It won't hurt that bearing either. 800MXZ 02-11-2002, 12:23 PM I use mopar ATF+4. If it can handle 430ft. lbs. of torque in a 5000lb vehicle for thousands of miles, it should be able to handle the load of a sled. All 4x4 trucks use a chain in the transfer case, and they all recomend some sort of ATF for lube. | ||
