Two-stroke trans oil

What are you guys running using for trans oil? I have also been told that you can run automatic trans fluid as it is virtually the same product?

Just 2 stroke grear box oil seems to do alright for me (motul)

Sorry, I should have rephrased my original question. Are there any prefered brands of gearbox oil out there?

Yea cheese did tell me lol. I think I'm better play it safe and just buy the proper oil

booooom told me to run ATF as its teh same shit. Alot of people use it. ONly use it on 2 smokers though!!

I actually only every ran motul in teh gear box and on teh last fill I got some stuff from MX dad (plutoline)

I only use ATF, 5 litres of Dexron III is cheap as at Repco. Cheap enough to replace it every second ride. Makes the clutch and gear box work very smooth.

Any quality 2 stroke trans oil will work, have only ever once had a problem and that was with elf oil in a KTM360sx.
Run ATF in my TM, doubt it'sthe same as it's a lot runnier than trans oil but never had a problem, If you are going with ATF change it every time, same goes for any oil in an MX bike really. There isn't much in there and it's cheaper than gearboxes.
