Does Lucas Transmission Fix Work? Let's find out!

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks for everyone who requested testing Lucas Transmission Fix and please let me know if there are other brands you'd like tested. Here's the link the the product I used: Lucas Transmission Fix: amzn.to/31gbCFU

Why was that griddle moving when u sped it up .. Its like bouncing

[@davidturk6301]

Project Farm - if you haven’t already done so, please test the Seafoam transmission cleaner fluid.

[@bobthompson4319]

To change Honda automatic transmission fluid all you have to do is get i think its 3 quarts of Honda brand ATF. Look up the recommend amount. Then pull out the dipstick. Then safely raise the car and pull the plug and drain. Then lower the car so all of the fluid comes out. Wait....... until it stops dripping or is dripping very slowly. Put the the plug back in with a new aluminum washer. Then ad the recommend amount of HONDA ATF. And your done!!!!! Very easy, not very expensive. And a note.... you dont have to change the filter. Because the filter is on the inside of the transmission and to change it youd have to drop the transmission and open the case to do that. And its not recommended anyway because its probably just a fine mesh screen. And there is a strong magnet inside of it for the inevitable metal flakes and powder/dust. Just change it yourself. It doesn't need one of those expensive transmission fluid "flushes" that some lube shops sell. Transmission fluid flushes are very good. But are only necessary in vehicles that have things like a pan drop that only gets some of the fluid. The flush will actually get it all.

[@bobthompson4319]

On that honda you just add fluid in through the dipstick hole. Thats from the manufacturer

[@bobthompson4319]

It looks and sounds like the clutches are ok on this car. And it looks and sounds like the shift solenoid is sticking. Theres more than one of them on it. Or used transmissions for hondas are relatively cheap.

I’ve used this stuff and it works! Had two cars whose transmission were clearly on their way out and it helped. One lasted to 383,000 and the other 259,000 ,miles. An additional 100,000 between both vehicles. It is super thick so you have to be patient when putting it in.

[@Ramon.661]

what cars did you use them on ?

[@trvman1]

I used it on a 2007 Dodge Caravan. Transmission was taking a "long time" to shift into the last 2 gears. Came on pretty quickly. Engine would wine because it was not shifting. Had 135,000 miles on it. I sucked out old transmission fluid and put in new and a bottle of this stuff. Drove it for about 4 days and put 100 miles on it. Transmission shifted great, smooth/quiet and here it is a year later and no problems. For the cost of this and transmission fluid, I am going to do the change out again. Now, I have only put on about 6,000 miles since I changed/put it in. So who knows how long it will last. Like I said, for the cost, I am going to be doing it again.

I'm here to tell you that Lucas transmission additive fixed my 2003 RAV4. It slipped like crazy going from 2nd to 3rd. The dealership wanted $4,000 to replace the transmission $151,000 Mi I just missed out on the warranty. The transmission shops would rebuild it for $1,800 with no warranty. So I drained a quart and added a quart of Lucas. I drove lightly, using the floor shifter manually. After a week it started shifting better; after a month it was like nothing happened. But never once I ever romped on it. I swear by that stuff. I'm over 200,000 miles now no troubles.

Those Honda Transmissions are notorious for failing at low mileage especially in heavier vehicles like the Odyssey. A combination of weak materials, heat and a lack of a easily serviceable trans filter contribute to the issues. I had a slipping transmission on my 2000 Odyssey a few years ago. I added 2 cheapo trans coolers, a magnetic inline filter, cleaned out the screens on the shift solenoids and added a bottle of the Lucas stop slip and it saved the transmission. Immediately it began shifting smoothly in all gears and never had issues for the remaining years I owned it.

[@treefrogjoness]

I've been using Lucus transmission additive for years with good results. A lot of the internal transmission seals are made of rubber and they tend to harden with age, which can cause leaks inside clutch packs and servos etc. This can cause all kinds of shifting problems and slippage. Lucus reduces friction and softens internal seals to correct leakage. In some cases, it takes time for Lucus to soften the seals and correct the problem. A lot of times, when you use it in your transmission, you need to drive the vehicle over an extended period of time and be patient.

[@jamesfair9751]

This is very old yet true. The only things is that it is no longer relevant today. Many many years ago car batteries were made with much different outer casings. The carbon in the casings when placed on humid concrete did in fact cause a trickle of current flow to occur that would drain the batteries. Likewise setting on the bare ground would cause the same current flow to earth ground. Latter attempts of rubberized casing proved to have the same effect as the rubber contained carbon as well. In modern batteries with hard plastic casings this is no longer a problem and it is perfectly fine to store them on concrete.

[@carlcox7332]

Ive left a car battery on a concrete patio for about 7 or 8 months. When I first put it there it read 12.6. 8 months later it hit 12.3.

It has been this way for 40,000 miles. I park the truck for months at a time and only use it for towing (usually over 10,000lbs). The bands have been adjusted every 7500 miles and the adjusters are just about inside the case (meaning the bands have no material left and are likely metal to metal against the drum (in lamens terms the transmission is worn out)). I saw a review of this stuff on the KZbin channel Project Farm. I watch his stuff a lot and generally follow his advice. He used it in a Honda and it made a marked improvement. As he said in the video "it's 12$ and worth a try". So I ordered some and dumped it into the transmission (the whole bottle). I let the truck warm up and took it for a spin. HOLY SHISCABOBS!!!!!!!! the trans started in first gear at every stop and the shifts are silky smooth. Now granted I have only put 20 miles on the truck before writing this review and things may change. In a few weeks we are going to take out the toy hauler (12,000lbs fully loaded) for a 600 mile trip. If things get worse I will update the review. Either way it has been worth every penny of the 10$ I spent.....

I own a transmission shop in Brazil, I've tested this product in a few cases, including transmissions with a slipping issue where it was known to be related to leaking internal seals. If you treat the transmission before it burns discs or bands, the results can be amazing. If you are having transmission issues, and specially if you live in North America, you should really give this product a try, since it is so cheap. I simply can't see any likely downside to this.

As a mechanic, I would never promote using "stop slip" as a repair, HOWEVER, I have used it on an old Accord to stretch its life (the car was not worth even a used trans), and to my suprise, it worked.

[@towlife270]

In my personal experience lucas is most effective when used with the worn or used transmission fluid. New fluid and filter seem to decrease the effectiveness of lucas as it's designed to use the particles in the fluid to help stop slipping and increased viscosity helps to increase fluid pressure where it needs it since the pump is worn at this point as well. Used it in a personal vehicle that had almost 300,000 miles on it with a slip going into 3rd gear. I left the used unchanged fluid and filter in it while draining enough fluid out to be exactly full when I added the lucas. Transmission is still going strong and truck now has 400,000 on it with a different owner. I would like to see you test this method out as it has at least for me been most effective when "needing" lucas for the transmission.

I used this today & it immediately fixed my transmission shifting issue on my 2011 Chevy Malibu. After getting my transmission serviced at Valvone (before I knew anything about cars at all, guy just said It was due when I went for an oil change.) my car was shifting so hard in city, 0-40mph was the worst. When I let off my gas, to coast or slow down without actually breaking, it used to down shift hard & jerk. Speeding up from one of these “coasting slow downs” or when I would accelerate from a complete stop, it would hesitate and shift hard before even hitting 20mph. Didn’t have a problem with RPM or over heating though. Anyways, after using this, literally in the first minute, the issue is gone. My car is running so smooth, as if Valvoline never touched it. Which they won’t, EVER again. - posted this directly on Lucas’ video for this, but this is the video that SOLD me! Thanks for the demo!

Suggestion: Fix-A-Leak products! I'm very interested to know whether espcially those radiator leak-fix products really work. In my experience the old school black pepper theory does truly work. Since that has worked for me I've never tried the products on auto parts store shelves. Do they work? How well compared to black pepper? I think it's relevant to include I've been a mechanic (Class 8) for 30 years. In my experiences I have also been employed at radiator specialists who repaired radiators. They don't use any products, they just replace the fin core or tank cores if they leak or use silver or lead solder to patch holes. So I'm very curious and would love to see a video proving IF and/or how well the fix-a-leak products work!

[@phatbaby4234]

They work for a bit. Eventually it’s going to have to get repaired right though and when it does leak again, you can bet it’s going to be at the most inopportune moment.

In the old days of low-pressure cooling systems, you could fix a cracked block (temporarily) by filling the radiator with a potato-soup mixture. When the hot soup hit the air, it hardened immediately.

First thing I’m a retired auto technician with over 40 years of professional experience and several years before that even. The last 10 years I was a transmission rebuilder. Would I use Trans-fix on a new or known good transmission?? No! Would I use it on a transmission with a problem.. short answer, yes! You noticed that the Trans-fix was thick, that is what helps a worn transmission by increasing the line pressure of the transmission, similar to adding Lucas oil stabilizer to a worn engine. You increase pressure by increasing the viscosity of the transmission fluid/engine oil. I have seen and heard that many people have gotten several thousand miles of use by adding a bottle or two to their transmission. It WILL NOT WORK if the transmission is making loud noises or does not have all gears/ranges working. Like you said if you have a lazy/bad shift it’s worth a shot giving it a try but I would not recommend using it on a transmission that is working properly. Good videos, great advice!! PS… I agree with what several people have posted…you can’t get a decent transmission rebuilt for $1500.00 anymore. Even if the video/test is 10 years old $1500 is a steal. It costs more than that for the removal and installation not counting the rebuild on most vehicles.

I added this to a friends 1999 Ford Ranger with nearly 300k on the odometer. Sometimes putting it in drive it just wouldn't go anywhere. Needless to say this stuff bought him another 60k before the transmission finally gave out completely. Normally dont recommend additives but it's worth a shot with this stuff.

Lucas takes time to get through the transmission and is supposed to expand seals as well as increase viscosity. My experience has been that you cant fix a mechanical problem with a liquid, but lucas has definetly made transmissions last longer for me. Used it a half dozen times over the years. It gives you some more time. Its a lot easier to plan for a transmission replacement or rebuild than needing one today. Ive had good luck with it but all it really does is buy you time. I uaed it in my 05 Tahoe that started slipping a couple weeks ago and it doesnt slip at all now. But it will start to slip again eventually.

*BUT* Lucas is a 50/50 Some cars transmission, may not be affected in the least by this or if you're lucky...it'll affect your transmission up to 50% - IF LUCKY

My experience with this product has been great! I use it every time I change the spin on filter on an Allison 1000 transmission due to the fluid loss. Keeps trans temp down and really helps with the longevity while towing heavy.

Wow, and holy cow< I'm blown away by the conplete and through job you did on this while at the same time not tring to drag it out longer and need be.

I use Lucas oil stabilizer, fuel treatment, and Transmission fix. Carol Shelby was a big part of Lucas and it’s popularity. I even use it in my differential. It actually extend the life of your automobile. It’s worth every penny.

I have used Lucas with great success and I always recommend it. Best case for me was I had a 2006 Chevy Express 4.3v6 and at 160k miles I noticed it slipping some when cold and harsh shifts. I put Lucas Trans repair in it and checked it regularly. Whenever it was low in fluid I topped it off with Lucas. The transmission did finally go out at 340k miles!

That transmission is known to fail. 3rd gear clutch pack or something keeps overheating.

[@ProjectFarm]

Great information! Thank you

[@manyhammers5944]

I would assume a larger trans cooler would fix that problem. Worked on an E4od .

[@chris1293]

@@manyhammers5944 i tried. the trans is sealed with coolant lines running to the trans to do the cooling. i had a 2000 and was already on the 3rd trans before 150k miles lol

Was about to say... 200k on a Honda seems low when my 230k Saturn runs fine.

[@101Volts]

Gotta use better Transmission Fluid in it, then. Amsoil does a spectacular job at that, speaking from experience.

[@michaelkirkland35]

It worked for my 1999 Nissan Frontier, thankful for Lucas products.

The Lucus oil additives definitely work best over the long haul.It may take a few times heating up and cooling down before it really takes affect.

[@jeffalan6339]

You are just amazing. Your testing is similar to an chemist. Not just this video those I've watched. You really have the ability to test. Keep up your good work.
