Clutch fluid
#4
Not the expert here, but maybe this will help. Past threads seem to conclude:

For FIBER shoe and disk (eg, DXL) clutches, there are proponents of L&T clutch oil, Tric-Loc (Driven Racing/ATI, available from Jegs & Summit), Redline and various automotive ATF's (Mercon V, B&M Trick Shift, Type F). Reportedly, 50 years ago Type F was the ticket, but compred to modern oils, it degrades much more quickly (but with any of these, you have to change it after every race day anyway, so I guess the adequacy of Type F would depend on your specific setup, track, driving style, etc.) And yes, some guys report great success with turbine oil!

Metal shoe wet clutches (Burco and Horstman Slip-O-Matic and Slip-A-Just) are a different story.

What model of clutch are you working with?
