Tqvvm for your video, my 2003 Hyundai Sonata Ef 2.4 jerk when engage to D & R, I change fluid and put 12oz of this as Malaysian Sonata model only need 4 litre of trans fluid. At first it didn't show any improvement then after 4th day it feel smoother & no more jerking, now already more than a week still doing fine. Hope it will last until I can afford a new car.
I used two bottles in a DCT ford transmission. It didnt want to engage drive or reverse quickly, and would slip badly in 1st. After Lucas, it seems to make it work properly. You need to run it about 300kms to get it at its full effect.
Thankyou for this information! I have a 3.0 V6 Toyota trans. I've used other Lucas products in the past with good results. The trans. only slips when it is put into gear on cold morning initial start ups. Feel much better about using this product after watching your video. Makes good common sense. Sometimes less is more, this is a good example of that! I will try 12 oz. mixed with the fluid as you have described.
This is q very good detailed video. Thank you for the informative visual description. My dad has a 05 Dodge Dakota SLT V8 with a shaking problem when going up hills at around 35-45MPH. I plan pn putting in 24oz of Lucas Transmission Fix to hopefully get more life out of the transmission. We are going to get his trucks transmission fixed at a shop but need some more time. And if the Lucas Transmission Stop-Slip fixes it for years, well I'll take it. I have a 02 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4.7L with the 545RFE 5 speed transmission and get a clunk when lightly letting off gas after a hill. But only happens sometimes. Im hoping valves are sticking and lucas will help it. Do you think it will work, which of the two is likely to be improved after 200 miles.
An accurate dosage, oz of lucas to oz of transfluid would be best. I used two in a 6R80 with over 200,000 miles on it. Its had fluid and filter changes, isn't making metal, no lead frame issue and had reprorgraming TSB. It wasn't really slipping just flaring like solenoids were acting slow and overlapping. It's fine but I've got a bigger pan on the trans and a giant offroad racing trans cooler on the raptor. Its a ton more fluid than the trans had stock. It's probably around 20 quarts now. If its a well worn high milelage LV trans getting ran in hot conditions its probably more than worth a shot.
I have toyota sienna. I change the transmission fluid this summer (not flush) on around 95k. But early morning during cold temperature. I noticed it is start slipping but it will turn to normal once its warm up. I was thinking to put this but the fluid transmission is V/LV. But thank you for saving me some more problems by not putting this straight to the transmission and by diluting it ❤
I'm from the UK & this does work! A family member purchased a Honda Jazz without test driving it,the CVT was juddering when pulling off, less than 50 miles it went away!
So my fusion calls for Mercon LV. I’ll dilute it before I put it in. Do I need to drain some out. Probably only putting 12oz total. With it diluted. So 6oz Lucas 6oz mercon. Thank you for your video!
So, for an older Ford C6 auto, that operates normally (goes into gear without hesitation, shifts through all gears), but has a leak at the input shaft behind the converter, should a half bottle help to slow that leak down some?
My 2005 Lexus RX330 flares when shifting gear 2-3 after a cold start and start shifting almost normal after 10-15 minutes drive. The gear 3-4 during that time feels like hesitant also. Do you know what maybe causing it and if Lucas can help on that case? Thanks!
So I haven’t had an issue with the transmission slipping per se, but when I’m driving the rpm’s will go up but it struggles to get to 40mph. You think I should give this a shot?
I had a ford flex that started downshifting hard when coming to a stop, tranny shops said it’s normal but it’s not as I owned it for years, I used a bottle of this and it fixed it, shifted like new after that
Need help. Long read ahead. I have a 1988 Honda Civic EF 1.3 automatic. I got the transmission changed in May last year because the previous transmission wasn't engaging from the 2nd gear to the 3rd gear. The new (second hand) transmission was fine then it started to show some lag when put in 'drive' (when the engine was cold). I was using the original Honda Transmission Fluid. Slowly that problem got worse and I'd have to keep the car running for about 10 minutes early in the morning and only then 'drive' will respond. I was advised by a local mechanic to change to Amsoil Transmission fluid as he mentioned it has additives and I did. A) First Amsoil Transmission fluid change. It showed improvements like the 'drive' gear engaging right after I started up the car but it would only coast in drive, stepping on the accelerator didn't have any response. I'd have to warm up the engine for maybe 3-4 minutes and would be able to drive off with no issues. I noticed with each passing week, I'd have to warm up the engine longer for the drive gear to engage. The problem came back in full swing after 3 months with newer symptoms. After warming up for about 10 minutes and driving off, the engine would have to rev up to 3k or even 4k in a very struggling manner and it would sound as though the engine has to work way harder to get from the first gear to the second gear. But once at operating temperature, the transmission works just fine and smooth but it would slip sometimes. This new symptom showed up after having driven the car for about 5k miles since the Amsoil Transmission fluid change. B) Second Amsoil Transmission fluid change. So I changed the fluid again and things got better than they were towards the end of 5k mileage of the first Amsoil fluid change. I drove another 5k miles and have another new symptom. The reverse gear won't engage when the engine is cold. So I'd have to keep the engine running for about 5 minutes for the reverse gear to engage and about 10 minutes for drive gear to engage with the current trans fluid. But, in order for first to second gear to shift smoothly, id have to run the engine for about 15 minutes (reach operating temperature). 15 minutes does the trick and the car runs just fine the whole day (absolutely smooth like a new car I'd say). But if I leave the car parked for a few hours, I'd have to run the engine for about 2-3 minutes for the gears to engage. This is the current situation I'm in. So basically I have three problems: 1) Drive gear won't engage if car isn't warmed up. 2) First gear going into second struggles a lot if not sufficiently warmed up. 3) Reverse gear won't engage if the engine is not warmed up for 5 minutes. My question is: Would Lucas Transmission Fix be effective in helping me with this issue if I were to just top it up with current Amsoil Transmission fluid? Any help that comes my way is very much appreciated. It's the only car I have and I absolutely love this car. Thank you so much.
Great video..I have question. What's the best trans treatment you suggest for LV ? I have a 2012 FORD FLEX that shutters when switching from 2nd to 3rd (mostly when warm. Thanks I'll Sub 👍
The best LV fluid on the market is Mobil One in my opinion but there is a product called "Instant Shudder Fix" that might help you with this issue, it is a good product to use for any shudder and it is an inexpensive way to try
Thanks, great video. Do you have a recommendation for a 4l60e with 240,000 and a slight slip between 1st and 2nd before vehicle is warmed up? It is behind a 4.3 in a GMC safari and is gently driven but does tow about 3500-4500 lbs regularly. What is odd is that it seems to drive better while towing. Thanks again!
if I was to try anything on a vehicle with 240,000 miles with a 4l60e i would try a epc solenoid because these weaken and cause transmission flare ups between shifts
@@codemansauto208 Thanks for the reply and the tip. I will have to look that up to see if that is something I can do. I've restored older cars and built engines but something about the complexity of automatic transmissions intimidates me. I dont think I'd try doing anything that could not be done through the pan. Thanks again.
So glad I came across your video I was about to throw a whole bottle into my volvo box I will just go with half at least I can do both my cars then would you agree they are p3 v70 and s80. Thanks
Great video and appreciate the information. Do you think it’s safe to put this product in my 6L90 transmission that’s in a GMC 2500 HD. I can’t find anything says it uses LV fluid.
GM recommends all 6L80 6L90 and 8L's to use LV Mobil One in place of Dex6 because Mobil one is blended for GM to combat the shudder issues and I have known people to use this in 6L90 and not known of any issues afterwards Hope this helps
Thank you for your informative video. My fluid was low so I added Dextron VI since auto parts store said that's what my vehicle calls for. Later upon re-checking tranny fluid level, I noticed writing on dipstick reads to use dextron III. How do you suggest I proceed? Thank you in advance for your time in responding!
@bobfrapples4146 I'm a stickler for correct verbiage as well. For example, it irks me when someone says the ladder but they really meant the latter! So thanks for the correction. I'm curious though- in this instance, why is that important? Since there is no such thing as dextron, if you say that word, won't the person know that you mean Dexron? I'm missing your point as to why this is a big deal...
So will it be okay to put a little less than a half a bottle in without draining my existing fluid? My transmission fluid isn't low and the bottle says I can, but i don't understand how that won't overfill it.
So does it makes sense to drive with Lucas for a year and then drain it out, since like all the seals are softened already and all the valves are freed?
My automatic transmission wont move the car in D mode in the morning. I have to select 1 mode for the gear to engage, then drive little bit, then put in 2 Mode and drive. When the fluid gets little warm then i put in D mode and the transmission starts shifting normally. Would Lucas fix that problem?
My transmission fluid is full. So, do you remove 12oz first then add it? or do you just add it to a full transmission. No one has answered this question. fluid was changed at 80k now has 120K. 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee
2:01 very poor example. Your parts are apart on a table, and assembled trans with the piston and seal in the drum will not catch or “roll out”. There isn’t enough clearance. It will seal better, that’s the whole point of Lucas. I’ve run at least 2-3 bottles in full size trans with great results for years. Just sold my Cummins with 370,000 miles that survived the last three years on Lucas. My two new purchases 5.9 magnum with 216,000 and 6.5 diesel with 220,000 both got a full bottle on an already good trans to promote longevity given that I don’t know the maintenance history of them.
Lucas stop slip is a great great product. My car transmission would not engage in D mode and only worked in 1 mode and Reverse. I added this product into my transmission with old transmission fluid and after driving for a little while, the D mode came to life and shifting became smooth. This is just a great product, I would recommend to everyone with transmission issues.
I lost all gears even reverse in my clapped out 350 transmission and added 2 of these bottles and it brought it back to life and it ran better than before it clapped out

Should you do a fluid change the first application or can you wait until you need to ad more if not working.
Can you add this to a full transmission without draining it
Yes it dilutes the current ATF and makes it thicker
