Yup, Work van trans went all N on me coming home from work one day, like 4-5 bottles of this and Trans fluid to top it off. Never had a problem again. No matter how big the load. Van wouldn’t fuckin die lmao
Lucas stop slip is literally a godsend. It will quieten down whiny manual transmissions as well as fix any slippage in an auto, just make sure you use enough of it
Something to consider as well: these early V6 cars shift ok once the transmission is warmed up, so let the car cool down and try again before you come to a conclusion.
That's how every conventional automatic transmission works, but yes, exactly. His conclusion is premature. Show us how it shifts at 6am the next morning.
I used this with no trans fluid on a car that couldn’t start because no gear would grab. After 10 minutes, the car lasted 6 months shifthing like nothing happened. But out of nowhere in the highway the transmission just let go and I had to push the car from the fast lane to the shoulder. Scary shit 😂😂😂😂
Works in my 01 wj 4.0 L Jeep . 170 k I flushed and changed transmission filter 3 years ago. Then about 5 months started kicking and slipping gears . I flushed the transmission fluid put new fluid. 1 month ago started slipping gears . I added 1 bottle of Lucas and magic 🪄, Runs like a champion, very very smooth.
This stuff is the real deal. If your transmission is slipping, its going to die eventually anyways. Why not try to get a few more miles out of it before its time. I used some of this stuff on a 1999 Acura CL with around 150k miles on the original transmission, it was slipping heavily. I had the same results, the car ended up driving almost 100k more on the transmission. There is NO WAY ON EARTH it would have made it that far without the Lucas. It was hanging on by a thread. Once I put the Lucas in the first time, I changed it one more time with the same mixture (honda ATF and Lucas).
my aunts 09 accord has 196k on it and still drives like new! and no it dont burn oil like the 08-12 honda accords are known for and no the trans is fine! bought in 2019 with 160k now got almost 200k 5 years later and still going strong!
That’s stuff really does work. 2013 ford flex. Last summer transmission started acting up. Changed the fluid. Didn’t make a difference. The next day I changed the fluid again and added the Lucas stop slip additive. After that shifts smooth as butter! But keep in mind. It doesn’t mean it’ll permanently fix the problem. However the transmission is still going today. Little hard shift going into 3rd gear but other than that it’s still doing the job
Had a lincoln with the same trans. Fresh mercon v fluid with lubeguard fixed the hard shifts and it was smooth for many many miles after that till I sold it. Next owner is still driving it years later. Saw it not too long ago. Key is the lubeguard
This stuff is what scammers dream of. Smh you know there’s a bunch of guys out there flipping junk cars with this stuff in the trans to get it down the road and sold screwing over the next guy.
Absolutely. I run a small trucking business. I can’t even put words together to explain how amazing lucas products are. And seafoam. Pretty much just use the 2. Lucas oil stabilizer is the best stuff to keep engines alive. Seriously. All our diesel engines went over 5-600,000 miles. Some are still going after we sold them. Same engines and transmissions.
@@simplysimple7628I’ve always substituted a quart of oil for the Lucas heavy duty oil stabilizer every oil change. Later on when the oil is almost due for a change I always try to put a little sea foam in the oil and the rest in the tank. It definitely keeps my crown Vic running great
I agree this product is good, but it’s like putting a bandaid on a broken toe. It won’t last. Guy I worked with smoked his Oldsmobile transmission. Wouldn’t move. Drained fluid, added 2 qts Lucas and then filled with trans fluid. It lasted 3 weeks while he saved the money for a used transmission
Exactly my transmission mechanic said it works by just building more pressure in the transmission so it doesn’t slip and then causes the seals to blow out sooner.
It doesn't actually make it blow up faster, what's happening is that you're already having issues that's going to make it blow up soon and you pour it in hoping to save it but then it blows up and now you think that it caused it when in reality it was about to blow up anyway

Get a bucket and boil water and warm it up.. or microwave it. Lol I’ve done that here in Canada in the winter..as the shop was never all that warm ..with open the big garage door a lot
That was always used in the military when I was in the Marine corps Lucas they used it a lot in all the all the engines and anything that had a mortar or any change anything like that they always use Lucas
As soon as you feel any slippage change the fluid and add a quart of Lucas. 90% of the time its just from fluid getting old and clogging filters. Transmission need hydraulic pressure so worn fluid and clogged filters don't help.
Quick tip for you. Us old heads put it in the microwave for about 30 seconds or so and that'll make it appear to be oil consistency. Goes in much easier
You say that, but the old fluid will have clutch material suspended in it, which you would be taking away with a flush. Usually transmissions will slip even worse afterwards. Unless you've owned it since new and done flushes every 50k since new, leave it be.
@@losi8ightyew I agree but Honda transmissions are different, I worked at transmission shop and a lot of time dirty fluid causes these transmissions to act up.

The question is how is it shifting after letting it rest for about 24hrs? Warming up the engine and transmission usually fixes the rough shifting. But once it’s cold again, you get the rough shift again. Another test is, after 24hrs, start the engine. Let it idle for 30secs to let the oil run thru the engine.

2000 cavalier slipping trans. Added a bottle of Lucas and within 5 miles I lost 3rd and 4th gear. As i pulled in the driveway I lost all gears. It depends on the application tbh
@@CarOpsthat's comforting since my TL has only 171,000 on it. I just did the timing belt, w/p, pulley's and hydraulic tensioner. Originally I had to go in there anyways to replace the crank position sensor. Now the only intermittent problem I have is a rich condition bank two (PO175).
@@ProvenPyroyes the 3.0 ranger engine is called the Vulcan engine. Keep an eye on the temperature gauge since they're notorious for head gasket problems. Every Ford ranger I've had I beat the hell out of them. I'd buy another one in a heartbeat. The only one I'd avoid is the 4.0 SOHC. That engine is a timing chain nightmare. The pushrod 4 liter is much better. Less horsepower, but still around the same Ft-Lb of torque and will last past 300,000 miles if you keep up on the oil change's.
This stuff works, my friend bought a Chevy Impala from the dealership at a discounted price because it was the display model that was used for test drives a lot after a year of driving it the transmission had problems he went to every place he could including the same dealer and other shops that specialize in transmissions everybody was quoting him atound the price of $3500 he tried what his brother told him to do and added Lucas oil and it fixed the transmission he never replaced it and it was fine after that.
Thank you so much for making this video. I have an '06 Acura TL with the BDGA transmission. It's not as bad as what yours was doing. The 2nd- 3rd pressure switches go out on those, but easy to change. Also there is a serviceable transmission cooler return line filter that can be replaced. Some inside with a plate held on by 3 bolt's. Others use a metal thread on one end- hose barb on the other (the easier one to change). I wish Honda made better transmissions. Their engine's are good (excluding earth dreams engine's).
Gotta change the internal transmission filter behind the driverside front wheel, they fall apart and restrict flow causing slippage, replace will do wonders,save your transmission!
Bro I got the same car do a drain and refill on the TL and change the pressure switches the third and the fourth it's on the driver side you have to take the tire out and service the transmission solenoid is right by the transmission filter
@@User-9-11 yeah totally not your problem. You just shoved terrible ass shit that's only gonna make the problem worse not actually fix the problem. But yeah your right it's not your problem it just makes you look like a shitty ass person and definitely shows your character. It's scummy
It helped in my situation. Two bottles in a 4L60e. Three might have been better. Lasted until I found a replacement vehicle (that also has same model trans). I made sure its transmission was serviced
This is is an additive to the current ATF and it’s meant to thinken up the viscosity, definitely works and will give you time to save till a trans rebuild!!
I own that exact make and model with the v6 and the 4speed, I noticed it was still holding revs way past when it was supposed to shift, be careful, you might wanna try a shift solenoid but idk
I have an auto vw passat 2007 with kicking second gear if you don't release the gas pedal to shift , sometimes slips but drives and won't give up. Same with second to first when stopping if you stop too quick...
oh hell yes it works... it made my accord which had issue, leaving second gear, and made it smoothe as butter. however never use it in a transmission that has no major issues and or is not significantly worn because its so viscous it can push seals and orings out of place or even force gears to move off of their shafts...
Looks legit . I just got some today. Transmission started slipping like 3 weeks ago and my car has been just parked getting burnt by the sun. Hopefully this helps
I just put some in my 2020 f150. Had a vibration and hard shifts. I used half a bottle because the pump i usee was having a hard time pumping the thick oil. But it fixed the vibration and shifts better. Will probably put the other half in later when i find a better pump
Fyi there is a fill plug on top of the transmission right behind the intake take a couple of extensions to reach down there and a 19mm socket and you can pour in with funnel much easier than transfer pumping through the dipstick tube
@@CarOps your welcome and also on the plug there should be a copper washer on it so make sure not to drop it when taking off sometimes it will be stuck to the transmission
My honda had a similar issue because the fulid was changed. Went to a junkyard and got some old fluid to put back in to see if it worked. Got an extra 30k miles on that transmission!!
No, it wasnt just because the tranny fluid was changed....it was because it was neglected and changed WAY later than it should have been......thats what happens when you neglect your car or truck....
We sell the lube guard shudder stop in our transmission parts store. Everyone loves it we have several different ones made specifically for certain cars. Everyone always comes back talking about how good it works
What's crazy is I took a picture today of a Lucas product at a Walmart after hearing a few rave reviews about it and it shows up in my feed. Looks impressive though.
I love Lucas oil products, I use there additives in almost every vehicle around the property, they definitely know what the fuck it up when it comes to chemical and additive science, there upper cylinder lubricant and injector cleaner in a bottle kicks ass!
There are some sensors that are called solenoids sensors that go bad and.need to be replaced...the purpose of those sensors is to send signal to change gear...also change the transmission oil filter..👍
I was like hey thats my car! 1999 Honda Accord with check engine and Maintenance Reqd light on aswell. The check engine on mine is due to a fucked up sensor that a mechanic bought and put in
Hondas with the V6 Engine put strain on the transmission. The 4 Cylinder Tranny last a lot longer. That's why I like Toyota. Their transmission is bullet proof. We have a 2006 Camry 4 Cylinder with 376k miles with the original Engine and Transmission and is still going strong.
Granted you had room to add this without overfilling the system, it would indicate that the system was low on fluid to begin with, meaning you could’ve just added regular atf to fix it.
Used Lucas products for years, everything from Lucas Oil company has always worked very well for everything I have used it in. Some people claim that Lucas transmission fix will hurt a Honda transmission. But I say if the transmission is already having issues what do you really have to lose by giving it a try.
The 4L60 in my 05 Trailblazer used to do hard shifts and shutter in 4th while trying to go up a hill, and that was when it didn't want to go into 3rd. I'd have to manually shift into 3rd just for it to go up hill without much problem. But then putting it back in D just hard shifts it into 4th. But recently it's been acting very normal on the shifts and doesn't shutter anymore. Of course I still have the downshifting problem when going up a hill but it doesn't hard shift anymore. Mind you I haven't done anything to it and it's the original 186k mile transmission that came in it from the factory.
Man I got an 02 trailblazer as a beater car 138k original transmission Those 4L60 are either golden or have issues from the start 🤣 These trucks won’t die
My 05 silverado 4l60 just went out last month. Buying a new one in a couple weeks. 180k miles. Just changed rear diff from 342 gears to 373 gears. Put a 1000 miles on than transmission went out. Limp mode can only do 25 mph. 😢
My dad has a 2002 Chevy Suburban and it was having some rough shifts here and there but nothing too badly concerning where it needed a rebuild. So we threw the stuff in and it works amazingly well
One of the reasons people buy this is because they don’t want to spend money on a new transmission. I was told if you keep driving it with you will start to lose gears and eventually cause more damage.
I only use this when rebuilding a Trans. It's a great assembly lube..might be okay for minor issues but when a Trans has significant wear, nothing in a can will fix it.
Good fix right before selling it. In the early 90s my girlfriends toyota was slipping real bad. I put 1 qt 30w engine oil in it. And almoat immediatly it worked perfect, she immediatly traded it in.
Lucus is temporary it swells the seals in the valve body damage will eventually happen overall but it is great stuff haha. Weak valve body springs that shift with the seals stick because so basically yeah old transmissions lol.
I have a 06 saturn vue with the honda engine. And mine shifted rough. I changed the trans fluid every 2 weeks for 2 months and that fixed it. But i bought it used with 150k and now it has 250k and is still doing good.
Yes, that does sort of fix the accord transmission but you just caused a bigger problem, for the future. Your transmission is not bad. It’s a very common blockage issue. czcams.com/video/dfjXiUWsWic/video.htmlsi=JM1R3GyhA61V5rTR The link is for a video that will show you the part I’m talking about. you need to take this off, clean out the screens clean out the tubes or your transmission on that accord Will do some crazy things. Putting that fluid in it has some hard-core detergents so after a while, it does clean out those tubes but now your transmission is overfilled!!! Those transmissions do not like that. You will blow seals. Second, there is no code for this fix it’s just a Christmas tree on the dash.

2000 cavalier slipping trans. Added a bottle of Lucas and within 5 miles I lost 3rd and 4th gear. As i pulled in the driveway I lost all gears. It depends on the application tbh
Love the 3.0 v6 in mine. They are easy to maintain.
They are amazing engines. I’m glad the transmission lasted 250k miles
What 3.0 v6 is it the Vulcan? I have one in my Ranger. I think I'm going to use it
@@CarOpsthat's comforting since my TL has only 171,000 on it. I just did the timing belt, w/p, pulley's and hydraulic tensioner. Originally I had to go in there anyways to replace the crank position sensor. Now the only intermittent problem I have is a rich condition bank two (PO175).
@@ProvenPyroyes the 3.0 ranger engine is called the Vulcan engine. Keep an eye on the temperature gauge since they're notorious for head gasket problems. Every Ford ranger I've had I beat the hell out of them. I'd buy another one in a heartbeat. The only one I'd avoid is the 4.0 SOHC. That engine is a timing chain nightmare. The pushrod 4 liter is much better. Less horsepower, but still around the same Ft-Lb of torque and will last past 300,000 miles if you keep up on the oil change's.
Just did a rebuild on my transmission for my v6 accord and it slips like his still so idk
Seafoam good stuff too . Has saved me a bunch of cash. False diagnosis is way too common.
Hey Bud, how do you mess up a Honda transmission??? I'm genuinely curious 😅
I've had similar problems with the same drivetrain more than likely it will do the same thing the next day when it is cool
This stuff works, my friend bought a Chevy Impala from the dealership at a discounted price because it was the display model that was used for test drives a lot after a year of driving it the transmission had problems he went to every place he could including the same dealer and other shops that specialize in transmissions everybody was quoting him atound the price of $3500 he tried what his brother told him to do and added Lucas oil and it fixed the transmission he never replaced it and it was fine after that.
What year Impala??
After watching project farm i would defiantly use this on a pinch if i had too and i recommend to friends in a pinch
Thank you so much for making this video. I have an '06 Acura TL with the BDGA transmission. It's not as bad as what yours was doing. The 2nd- 3rd pressure switches go out on those, but easy to change. Also there is a serviceable transmission cooler return line filter that can be replaced. Some inside with a plate held on by 3 bolt's. Others use a metal thread on one end- hose barb on the other (the easier one to change). I wish Honda made better transmissions. Their engine's are good (excluding earth dreams engine's).
Gotta change the internal transmission filter behind the driverside front wheel, they fall apart and restrict flow causing slippage, replace will do wonders,save your transmission!
@@doncnunez6231 good to know. I don't know when the last time mine was changed. I bought the car used so I know it will need some things.
I have an 08 you happen to have know a video that changes those pressure switches?
Thank you! Nice car too
Bro I got the same car do a drain and refill on the TL and change the pressure switches the third and the fourth it's on the driver side you have to take the tire out and service the transmission solenoid is right by the transmission filter
Clean your shift solenoids and the sceens for em, after doing that in friends 2000 model it was like a new car
Sir your rebuilt transmission Bill is
$4,328.00 😂💀
Now sell it
You already know 😂
Lol
Not funny. Ya just gonna screw somone over when it fails.
@@TheKingMonkArmy they drove it liked it bought it not any of my issues after
@@User-9-11 yeah totally not your problem. You just shoved terrible ass shit that's only gonna make the problem worse not actually fix the problem. But yeah your right it's not your problem it just makes you look like a shitty ass person and definitely shows your character. It's scummy
Their power steering fluid is good too it stops the noise
It helped in my situation.
Two bottles in a 4L60e.
Three might have been better.
Lasted until I found a replacement vehicle (that also has same model trans).
I made sure its transmission was serviced
This is is an additive to the current ATF and it’s meant to thinken up the viscosity, definitely works and will give you time to save till a trans rebuild!!
I own that exact make and model with the v6 and the 4speed, I noticed it was still holding revs way past when it was supposed to shift, be careful, you might wanna try a shift solenoid but idk
That stuff is a miracle on my dads 06 honda, hes been having it for a couple years now
Wow!
Also another thing that’s unrelated if you need to start a fire really fast it’ll work really good even in wet conditions
I have an auto vw passat 2007 with kicking second gear if you don't release the gas pedal to shift , sometimes slips but drives and won't give up. Same with second to first when stopping if you stop too quick...
oh hell yes it works... it made my accord which had issue, leaving second gear, and made it smoothe as butter. however never use it in a transmission that has no major issues and or is not significantly worn because its so viscous it can push seals and orings out of place or even force gears to move off of their shafts...
Looks legit . I just got some today. Transmission started slipping like 3 weeks ago and my car has been just parked getting burnt by the sun. Hopefully this helps
Saw dust does the same thing for 30 minutes. Just enough for that perfect 5 minute test drive before selling it.
No it doesn't 😂 you must be a cartoon character.
Lucas oil is great for lubricant and saw dust is bad for lubricant.
I just put some in my 2020 f150. Had a vibration and hard shifts. I used half a bottle because the pump i usee was having a hard time pumping the thick oil. But it fixed the vibration and shifts better. Will probably put the other half in later when i find a better pump
Fyi there is a fill plug on top of the transmission right behind the intake take a couple of extensions to reach down there and a 19mm socket and you can pour in with funnel much easier than transfer pumping through the dipstick tube
Thank you!
@@CarOps your welcome and also on the plug there should be a copper washer on it so make sure not to drop it when taking off sometimes it will be stuck to the transmission
My honda had a similar issue because the fulid was changed. Went to a junkyard and got some old fluid to put back in to see if it worked. Got an extra 30k miles on that transmission!!
No, it wasnt just because the tranny fluid was changed....it was because it was neglected and changed WAY later than it should have been......thats what happens when you neglect your car or truck....
Now the real question is will this keep me from having to replace my Grand Prix GXP transmission after the 3rd time
We sell the lube guard shudder stop in our transmission parts store. Everyone loves it we have several different ones made specifically for certain cars. Everyone always comes back talking about how good it works
What's crazy is I took a picture today of a Lucas product at a Walmart after hearing a few rave reviews about it and it shows up in my feed. Looks impressive though.
Good stuff, used it more than once.
It’s a polymer I discovered it many years ago and constantly use it with V-maxlife on GM cars and SUVs
I see you are experienced with the pump action 😂
Let’s not talk about that 😂😂
And now sell it and be sure to warm it up before the buyer comes by
I love Lucas oil products, I use there additives in almost every vehicle around the property, they definitely know what the fuck it up when it comes to chemical and additive science, there upper cylinder lubricant and injector cleaner in a bottle kicks ass!
There are some sensors that are called solenoids sensors that go bad and.need to be replaced...the purpose of those sensors is to send signal to change gear...also change the transmission oil filter..👍
solenoids aren't sensors, solenoids are solenoids, they divert fluid flow inside the trans to make it shift etc
Thanks much appreciate
That transmission is made by GM and the gauge cluster has a ford logo on it. The two first things that broke when I had mine back in the day.
you should try the lucas alignment fix in a bottle
I’ll check that out!
@@CarOps can’t go wrong with it
I prefer the Lucas rod bearing fixer
😂
I was like hey thats my car! 1999 Honda Accord with check engine and Maintenance Reqd light on aswell. The check engine on mine is due to a fucked up sensor that a mechanic bought and put in
That dash looks like a Christmas tree
Or... We're low on fluid to begin with and this helped. Mechanic here, and even a little low on fluid can cause a rough shift.
Hondas with the V6 Engine put strain on the transmission. The 4 Cylinder Tranny last a lot longer. That's why I like Toyota. Their transmission is bullet proof. We have a 2006 Camry 4 Cylinder with 376k miles with the original Engine and Transmission and is still going strong.
Granted you had room to add this without overfilling the system, it would indicate that the system was low on fluid to begin with, meaning you could’ve just added regular atf to fix it.
Use this in all my cars with rough shifting it is a lifesaver. Only didn’t work once on my ford escape 2013 but might try more bottles idk
Used Lucas products for years, everything from Lucas Oil company has always worked very well for everything I have used it in.
Some people claim that Lucas transmission fix will hurt a Honda transmission. But I say if the transmission is already having issues what do you really have to lose by giving it a try.
The 4L60 in my 05 Trailblazer used to do hard shifts and shutter in 4th while trying to go up a hill, and that was when it didn't want to go into 3rd. I'd have to manually shift into 3rd just for it to go up hill without much problem. But then putting it back in D just hard shifts it into 4th. But recently it's been acting very normal on the shifts and doesn't shutter anymore. Of course I still have the downshifting problem when going up a hill but it doesn't hard shift anymore. Mind you I haven't done anything to it and it's the original 186k mile transmission that came in it from the factory.
Man I got an 02 trailblazer as a beater car 138k original transmission
Those 4L60 are either golden or have issues from the start 🤣
These trucks won’t die
There's probably enough worn off clutch material suspended in the fluid now to help it shift better.
My 05 silverado 4l60 just went out last month. Buying a new one in a couple weeks. 180k miles. Just changed rear diff from 342 gears to 373 gears. Put a 1000 miles on than transmission went out. Limp mode can only do 25 mph. 😢
My suburban just lost its 4L60E after 190K. Loud bang while backing up and now I don’t have reverse or 2nd 🙃
This stuff works so good. I used the one that goes in your oil and it worked
I believe I have used every Lucas product including the gun oil. They ALL have worked great for me.
Wow!
My dad has a 2002 Chevy Suburban and it was having some rough shifts here and there but nothing too badly concerning where it needed a rebuild. So we threw the stuff in and it works amazingly well
I CANNOT understand how little bottles of transmission fix can possibly work... yet I have actually SEEN them work. Its incredible.
It’s called chemistry
Love how that stuff is so goos, it actived your wipers for a few drops of rain.
Bought yourself some time to save up and get the trans rebuilt or better yet, replaced!
Its because it thickens the fluid and lubricates the valves in the valve body so they don’t stick thats the most common problem with a trans
Worked on my 4T65e
Trans fluid change and maybe uses a thinker oil also let your car warm up it seems like
One of the reasons people buy this is because they don’t want to spend money on a new transmission. I was told if you keep driving it with you will start to lose gears and eventually cause more damage.
I only use this when rebuilding a Trans. It's a great assembly lube..might be okay for minor issues but when a Trans has significant wear, nothing in a can will fix it.
As a mechanic it's just a temp fix you will still have to repair or replace the transmission later on
Good fix right before selling it.
In the early 90s my girlfriends toyota was slipping real bad. I put 1 qt 30w engine oil in it. And almoat immediatly it worked perfect, she immediatly traded it in.
Lucus is temporary it swells the seals in the valve body damage will eventually happen overall but it is great stuff haha. Weak valve body springs that shift with the seals stick because so basically yeah old transmissions lol.
I owned a Honda EX V6 just like this one years ago.
I have a 06 saturn vue with the honda engine. And mine shifted rough. I changed the trans fluid every 2 weeks for 2 months and that fixed it. But i bought it used with 150k and now it has 250k and is still doing good.
Yes, that does sort of fix the accord transmission but you just caused a bigger problem, for the future. Your transmission is not bad. It’s a very common blockage issue. czcams.com/video/dfjXiUWsWic/video.htmlsi=JM1R3GyhA61V5rTR The link is for a video that will show you the part I’m talking about. you need to take this off, clean out the screens clean out the tubes or your transmission on that accord Will do some crazy things. Putting that fluid in it has some hard-core detergents so after a while, it does clean out those tubes but now your transmission is overfilled!!! Those transmissions do not like that. You will blow seals. Second, there is no code for this fix it’s just a Christmas tree on the dash.
