Message: [QUOTE="chrismxer, post: 1228824, member: 63008"] The oils are going to mix slightly due to the oil film left on the parts thats it's lubricating. I would bet that most of the oil stayed put but a little contamination between the two is suspect from the nature the fork is being put through. Also you said that red oil bled out of the overflow holes. What do you mean? Was there built up pressure inside the cartridge or are you just saying as you compressed the rod into the cartridge that red oil came out of the bleed holes? Red oil or atf should have come out of the holes because that it is a part of the outer chamber. The harshness is not due to any ATF fluid leaking into the inner chamber if thats what your thinking. It is more likely due to poor bleeding or something of that nature. Atf has a sightly higher oil wt. and that would be a performance gain if anything. [/QUOTE]
