I don't know. Damn, I thought I had it fixed.
    You did as much as you can for now

    As the gears wear I dunno if it gets any better

    Mine does NOT clunk

    I have tried many lubes on my 15 and 17

    The 17 likes Lucas lube, even better than Red Line

    I am shocked but happy

    Plus I am still working on an adjustment. got it down to some milling work now

    I hope to test it soon SOON NO more CLUNK at all and an adjustment? I sure hope so

    Stoping the Clunk, Is immediate grounds for Harley to void your warranty .. So whatever you do 'Don't do it...

    I can't really remember if my first Ultra and Wide Glide clunked this loud or not. My last Ultra (2013) before the Trike did when it was warmed up, which is really all the time in SW Florida. But my Trike is really loud, I swear you can hear my gears clunk a block away! I'm sticking with Syn-3 until warranty is up probably.

    Only trouble with that is that my pre-hydraulic clutch H-Ds all clunked as bad or worse.

    I find that my '17 slips into 1st quietly if I wait a second or three to shift after pulling in the clutch. Otherwise, otherwise.

    Have a look at Redlines oictures of the gears bluednd blueing on the shifter forks fro using syn 3 or other oils, it is quite a good read with the pictures

    Had a HD service manager tell me he uses Red Line tranny and primary fluids in his personal bike. Good enough for me........

    I bought a 17 TG last month and will be taking it in soon for the initial 1k service. After reading through this thread and the link to the redline tech document, I'm wondering if I can request Redline Lube for the Engine, tranny, & primary? Will HD Service balk and force me to use the house brand only?

    Not even HD can force ANYTHING on you

    It is ILLEGAL unless they offer it for free

    If they say it will VOID your warranty you got them

    Randy and I talked to the service writer at our dealership and he told us they use the RED LINE for the Bikes out here.

    Knowing him and having dealing with him for the last 3 yrs his word is good enough for me. .

    This is our 9th Harley and It never bothered me before but I think time to see if it works next time. Thanks for all our comments on this subject
