best oil for 450r clutch.

ive tried a couple different ones and i have some suggested by a local cart builder that i dont like. i think its like 70w90, real heavy. he said its what they use in there shifter carts.:confused:

I just switched to the hp trans oil. It seems to be pretty good stuff.

the reason why i am asking is because as soon as i put that new oil in i started missing gears bad, like it wouldnt shift. i do miss gears time to time anyways but it was about every 5 minutes i was missing gears, sometimes one right after another. i havnt changed anything on my clutch, but the new oil. :confused:
