Lucas Transmission Fix is a solvent-free transmission additive designed to correct existing problems and prevent new ones in automatic transmissions. Made using an exclusive blend of petroleum-extracted additives, Transmission Fix helps stop slips, hesitation and rough shifting in high mileage transmissions.
One of the easiest ways to fix and prevent a slipping transmission is to monitor the transmission fluid level. Once a month, open the hood and check the fluid level with the engine running. If low, top it off with the recommended transmission fluid mentioned in the owner's manual.
Transmission additives can't plug any holes or stop leakage after it starts, but they can help prevent leakage from occurring in the first place. Since transmission additives condition your transmission's seals, they reduce the risk of small leaks occurring.
Lucas Transmission Fix contains no solvents or anything else that would be harmful to an automatic transmission. It is a thermal stable blend of petroleum-extracted additives designed to correct existing problems and prevent new ones in automatic transmissions.
The Transmission Range Sensor tells the PCM the position of the transmission shifter. The PCM uses this information to control which gears of the transmission to enable or disable. When the TR sensor fails it can cause wrong gear starts, no upshifts, or what feels like a falling-out-of-gear condition.
Can a Transmission Flush Fix Slipping? Yes, your fluid might be the issue, whether it's contaminated, too high, or too low. However, a full flush is typically done with a professional machine at a shop that changes out every last drop of fluid, so it's not an easy home garage job.
TRANS TUNE will help restore shift quality by cleaning sticky varnish from valve bodies and shift solenoids. TRANS TUNE is compatible with all conventional and synthetic petroleum and mineral-based automatic transmission fluids. TRANS TUNE only contains petroleum-based ingredients and will NOT harm your fluid systems.
Slipping gears are usually due to normal wear and tear, which causes them to not engage properly and to slip in and out of sync. It is rare, but there might be a malfunctioning set of gears in the transmission, which is usually due to bad original manufacturing.
Low transmission fluid is one of the most common reasons for a slipping transmission. The most likely culprit is a problem in your system that's causing the transmission fluid to leak.
When the transmission fluid isn't clean or is blocked by a clogged filter, the internal components won't have the lubrication they require to function properly. This could lead to shifting issues, grinding gears, slipping transmission or other common symptoms of transmission problems.
For example, in some situations an oxygen sensor can cause poor shifting in your transmission - if the engine isn't running correctly, the transmission control module may misinterpret when and where it's supposed to be shifting, causing erratic behavior at the transmission.
Often (though not always) a faulty transmission will trigger an engine diagnostic code and trip the Check Engine Light to let you know. Same goes if your engine overheats because of a bad transmission. Problems with a solenoid, speed sensor, slippage, and more can cause the Check Engine Light to come on.
When the oil is not changed at the right time, the oil begins to form varnish that is not soluble. This varnish stick to valve body parts and contributes to wearing the valves. When a fresh fluid is later introduced, the varnish becomes soluble in it and clog the oil filter causing the transmission to be oil starved.
Typically with transmission slipping, it may feel as if your gears are changing for no logical reason. Your engine may start to create a whining sound or pitch when it occurs. Alternatively, it may feel like you haven't got enough power to drive at the desired speed.
I started researching transmission additives and settled on Lucas because I didn't have to drain fluid out before adding it. I added it and the improvement was almost immediate. Within 2 days the transmission was shifting as smooth as a Cadillac should. I'm actually amazed at the results from using this product.
A: We recommend adding a bottle of Lucas Transmission Fix each time you change your transmission fluid (approximately every 30-40,000 miles), or adding a bottle to your current fluid to fix a small leak.
It usually means that the power produced by the engine does not get to the wheels. In most cases, this is generally caused by low-level fluid in automatic transmission vehicles and a worn-out clutch in manual transmission vehicles.
Depending on the transmission problem, results will be immediate or noticeable within 250 miles or 3 days of driving. In transmissions with seriously damaged components, a second treatment may be required. In this case, it is suggested that the fluid and filter be changed before adding a second bottle.
