Always change atf every 30-50k miles and you shouldnt have a problem. If its a junker and you dont want to replace the transmission, i would go with lucas. Has good reviews, its not a miracle fix, but it has its place
I bought a Subaru legacy with 150k and not knowing the maintenance history, changed all the fluids. It was shifting perfect, but after the change it acted like it had a high stall converter. Subaru guy told me if it was not maintained regularly, better to leave fluid alone, as long as it's not burned or dark. The new fluid must have been too slick for the bands. I added 1 bottle of trans-x and after 100 miles it was back to normal. 30k later still perfect.
Trans fix usually has additives to adjust the friction properties helping it shift better. But yeah if you're way pass your maintenance interval you should leave it alone. The warn materials in the fluid helped it grip well. When you change the fluid it loses it's grip since you drained out the material with it.
@@jamesolelo4406 I am in a similar situation with over 230,000 I bought my car used also, should I flush /drain and refill ATF or just add some of the Lucas transmission fluid fix
I have used lucas a few times on different cars. It does help. It doesn't cure the problem but it helps keep it going and shifting better. It says right on the bottle doesn't void new car warranty.
Trans x worked great in my 96 Ram 3500 Cummins. My tranny started slipping real bad in first, I would have to feather the peddle to get going. I added a bottle of trans x and noticed the difference within 10 minutes. I was able to get over 12,000 miles out of it, mostly towing, until it finally lost first gear and I got a rebuild. Well worth the $10 imo.
I have a 07 GMC canyon, 2 wd. Transmission went out, 2 years ago Thanksgiving, found a used one cheap, had it put on, with price tag of 1100.00. Now, replacement tranny started slipping in all gears ( automatic). Bought Lucas transmission fix and added to fluid. Almost no slipping. Have to baby it up to 40, then does fine up to 65-70 mph. I'm a skeptic and it may quit working tomorrow, but right now doing really good. I couldn't believe it!!!
I had a 96 explorer with a v6. The Trans was horrible. Spent a ton of money to have them try and fix the slipping issues with limited results. I put in Lucas oil Trans fix and within a short period of time tge slipping was gone. Ran like a champ for another 5 years till I sold it. I also put it in my pontiac vibe (Toyota engine) as preventative maintenance at 100k. I sold that car with 240k miles and never had a trans issue in 16 years. I swear by the stuff
Good to hear, I have '10 Vibe with a bit of rough shift, especially from first to second. I was going to put some of this stuff in it. I hope this stuff helps it run smoother
@@AdonisMediaProductions my suggestion as a non professional would be to drop the pan, change the filter but DONT flush the trans, just drain the old fluid. Add new fluid and put a whole bottle of trans fix. That is what I did every 100k miles to vehicles. Worked very well. I will be doing it to my current truck as well next oil change. Again, just a suggestion.
@@JP-dl4ci thank you for that. I was considering a drain of my ATF but I was worried about possibly slipping arising from it. It is a160k Vibe that I bought recently so i don't think he ATF has ever been changed.
It's insane how this NEW WORLD ORDER inflation has destroyed us. The value of the dollar has collapsed so much in just 3 years that's it's just disgusting. On top of that we have to pay the Mafia aka the private Federal Reserve and we're not even being protected from the thugs of the New World Order. It doesn't make any sense And what kills me is they keep saying and the sheeple keep believing that inflation numbers are just 6, 7, 10,13 or 18% Inflation is up 400% in les than 700 days. Disgusting and disgraceful
My friend couldn't make it up his hill. I gave him some Lucas tranny treatment and it fixed his problem for 2 yrs then he gave the van to his daughter and it lasted longer.
So I bought my car used with 220,000 miles on it and so should I flush/drain the Transmission fluid ? Or just at this point add some Lucas Transmission fluid ?
I replaced the tyranny fluid on my new used car, the fluid wasn't bad but it shifted rough ish, not a bad shift but noticeable. I replaced the fluid and added lucas oil to it and now it shifts about 2x better than before so I say it works.
Lucas works wonders in the 4r70w. They are prone to pump seals losing pressure. This is a thicker fluid and really helps with pump seal and seal issues in general. If you have any hard part problems this will not help at all.
right, I'm always buying ex-cop cars/crown vics from the auction I know those transmissions are put through hell and even if the transmission seems fine I always drop the pan and add a bottle of Lucas just for a little piece of mind, I've had 4 crown vics and 1 town car and never had a transmission failure
I bought a 2008 Subaru Outback with 155k miles. It had some transmission slipping. Lucas worked in the car. With that said, the transmission worked fairly well other than some slipping every now and then. I think people expect these products to be a cure all. Nothing will fix a transmission if the parts on the inside are broken
The trans x says automatic right on the front, so why expect it to work in a manual trans and as far as CVT, I wouldn't even consider putting anything other than the recommended fluid or replace.
My 2011 Silverado just started to slip/shutter 212K miles. I just did a pan filter and oil change with the same result. It's been done twice before, I've owned it since new. Gotta try the Lucas tomorrow and see what happens.
These products are transmission make specific. Best application for older model vehicle transmissions and as a last ditch effort before condemning for trans rebuild/replace at most. They aren't terrible products. It's usually USER ERROR in knowing when and where it's applicable.
Transx is the best my car wouldn't go into reverse on a cold start up, a mechanic told me to use a bottle of transx so I did, after one day my car is going into reverse just like new.
Bar's Leaks, I put it in my 01 Durango and shifts like butter, also put it in my buddies 95 cherokee which was already having bad transmission problems, it would only shift from 1st to 3rd, I put Bar's in and it made his 2nd gear work again and can get up to speed, though his transmission is trashed, but Bar's for sure works
Unfortunately for me, no one says is that transmission liquid got to go by itself inside the transmission, or needs to be mixed up with the transmission fluid.
@@bullfayce5617I think he meant that there isn't anywhere that says whether he should add this fix to the existing transmission fluid already in the car or entirely drain the old fluid and just put in the fix only. Or at least I think
My Honda Accord had a slow leak and had a slight hesitation shifting from 1st to 2nd. I drained transmission fluid and added a bottle of Lucas when refilling. Now my car won’t even go into 2nd, either manually or in automatic mode. I can’t get far now, stuck in first gear! Might as well ride my bike and get some exercise. Too bad Lucas doesn’t offer refunds!
Why should they offer a refund for? You're leaving out context. If your fluid hasn't been changed when it should, draining it removes all the debris that was helping to hold the transmission together with the old transmission fluid wearing out. This wasn't designed to fix wear that already occured.
@@jamesolelo4406 considering the lack of response it seems that you hit the nail on the head his lack of properly maintaining his car is the reason his transmission has issues not Lucas..

@corey Babcock I mean it might help, im not a mechanic in anyway. I have 181k miles so I was willing to try it. I dont think it would make it slip worse, check fluid level more often when you add it. Mmo might evaporate faster then ATF
@corey Babcock oh is that like those white work vans with double doors in back? Anyway try it out, if it slips worse drain it, if not still make sure the fluid is clean. Mmo will clean up build up if its there
hi i am from india, i filled Castrol magnetac 5w30 in my i20 2011 CRDi diesel according to shop owner's advice..but later I read that it is API SN/CF , ACEA A5B5 . BUT i20 manual say i20 need API CH4, ACEA A3/B4. now should I change immediately ?
Lucus Lubguard Red Seafoam transtune Full synthetic ATF I have a 2001 maxima at 202k miles it was shifting very bad. P0744 came up. Checked fluid it was black. Did the following 3 x drain fill with few thousand miles between each. Used valvoline maxlife full synthetic ATF & Lucus It took something that wasn’t drivable to something that was. Before 3 drain fill added transtune. And shifting improved a lot more Then did a final drain and fill. I did try only ATF but soon found out it needed additional add Ives of Transtune and Lucus together. Now it shifts smoother in 1-2-3 and R. But now when in 3rd if you floor it it slips out of gear into N. But if u let off gas it slips right back into 3rd. 4th not sure if it shifts into that but let’s assume it does. I still get p0744 I bet the TCC solenoid needs replacement or entire solenoid block or it’s the torque converter or clutch(a) It’s at 215k miles now still going, it’s more for local driving around town. The engine runs really good. Too bad it’s not a stick shift. Wouldn’t have this problem then.
People put this in and expect it's instant and fixed lol I don't notice anything changing till after 500 miles. Plus people wait till it's so bad it's gone. Lol Had a trans guy rebuild my trans he said after 30000 put new filter and stop slip I'm keep doing it every 30 k funny I wonder how he's doing I haven't lost another trans since he told me I do it for every car now.. beats every 50 k hard towing.
Ps I know when it's time to change filter when it starts shifting a little harder it usually around every 30 k lol. I drive stop and go traffic every day for 2 hrs that's hard on a trans 4 by the time I get home
