Does "TRANS" OIL mean it was something else before it "transitioned". If so it may be barred from entering our gearboxes or chaincases.as having an unfair advantage over original oil.!

From my experience, that trans oil might be fine in a relatively standard post war Comet, but in a 600 Comet with Honda clutch it would slip........same but worse in the pre war bikes......with the earlier 4 spring clutches, you will not stop it slipping using that oil.......ATF used in these then solved the problem.........Cheers.
don't use oil in the primary case, just lube chain as you would final drive chain if you believe too much oil on plates is the problem.
Certainly works well enough for me, standard 500cc Comet with a Honda clutch, zero clutch slip, operates well, just a little heavy at the lever, but not insufferable.
