Going to drain and check oils Sunday on my 61 Constellation thats new to me.
I normally use Silkolene 40W in engine and gearbox but wondered what people recommend for the Primary with scissor clutch?
I was thinking a light gear oil like used in wet clutch two strokes?

Any one any tips??

Thanks Paul

I'd recommend 'automatic transmission fluid' for your primary drive.
It'll keep everything well lubricated but it isn't slippy so will work well with your clutch.
