Re: hoot gearbox with other fluids?
ok third ride today transmission fluid works no slip. only time i get the gear noise is when im slowing down from high speed. even then its not much. only thing i would like to add is a vent tube on the gearbox it gets warm and i worry about pressure building and blowing a gasket. 
fluid used atf automatic transmission fluid gm dexron 2 or ford mercon fluids
i think i found my motor  starts on one pull. lots of fun to ride.

Re: hoot gearbox with other fluids?
So, did you use bearing grease or ATF?
You've stated both.

Re: hoot gearbox with other fluids?
Karma, Bike Looks Very Good. Do You Know What The Hoot Tranny Gear Ratio Is? And What Size Rear Sprocket Are You Using. The Breather May Be Best On The Back Side With A 90 Degree Pointing Up. If Its On Top, The Gears May Throw The Oil Up And Out.

Re: hoot gearbox with other fluids?
Car Rear Differential Gear Oil May Be Very Good Also. Also Chain Saw Bar Oil, It Is Sticky Stuff. Ron

Re: hoot gearbox with other fluids?
I just got my engine installed today. I added Hydraulic oil to mine (no foaming) I got it running but I have not installed the chain yet. The other engine I have has a vent hole in it and spits oil out all the time I am going to plug it up, it is an older style and has the straight cut gears. Ill keep you posted on how this oil works, my other idea is using compressor oil. I have some of the expensive stuff for Screw drive comp. will go to extreme heat. Have fun, Dave
PS: I don't think you have to worry about the pressure, only if their was a way for it to increase constantly.
