Question about lucas transmission fix

[ericem]

Hi guys. Ok well today was pretty pissed off as usual since it was snowing and my awd is very delayed. Anyway got a bottle of this crap. Seemed to work pretty good at the beginning, was kicking in around 2,000rpm range great. Shut off car, go out a hour or so later awd was still working great. Did something went out, drive car again awd did not work the whole way home BS. Nothing kicked in (power light on bouncing off redline you name it). So the question is, does lucas oil thicken the fluid? Or help it flow?

I am thinking it makes my issue worse. My fluid is always a perfect red. Just the awd is delayed, and does not work at all when cold. So I am thinking this would be a fluid issue, when it is warmed up after over 1 hour of driving, the awd will kick in pretty smooth and it will hold. So is there a better additive that is more of a synthetic blend that helps the fluid hold a good viscosity? Thanks. Going to probably drain the fluid soon if it continues this issue tomorrow. (Must have replaced the fluid like over 3 times by now).

the lucas oil shit just thickens oil. The trans and oil stabilizer treatments are garbage. They will just thicken oil to the point of beyond what you need.. Not to mention they have no anti-foaming agents, and via VOAs have nothing valuable to add to your engine or trans oil. Get the shit out of there.

That is what I figured. Today it was warm and now the awd won't kick in at all! Stupid shit wasted $16 and I now bought a additive called trans-x which on USMB people had success with fluid flow issues being fixed. Even stats it fixes gummed up valve bodies and fixes fluid viscosity in high and low temperatures. Cost me $20 shipped since I can't get the stuff here. I am going to drain the fluid ASAP.

transX stuff is pretty decent....

ok changed the fluid may have overfilled it a bit though. Anyway. Poured in that tran-x stuff (it is a liquid instead of a slime like the lucas crap) then added my tranny fluid. Seemed to work better. Wasn't perfect my awd, but shifting was nice and awd was kicking in even when cold. I am think I better empty a bit of the fluid incase I did actually overfill it.
