How to add Lucas transmission fix?
I just bought the 24 oz bottle of Lucas Transmission Fix, and I'm curious about how to add the stuff.. From reading the bottle, it appears as if you're supposed to add it in ON TOP of the fully tranny.
It doesn't mention draining out 24 oz of tranny fluid??
Is this right or am I'm on crack?

I've got a MityVac.. I might try that.
it's weird if you read the instructions it acts like you dump the stuff in on top of existing fluid.. I don't want to top it off, only to have the stuff immediately evaporate (or whatever it does) and leave me 24 oz shy of full.. I'll suck out and retain some ATF if I can and go for a short drive..
From Lucas' website:
Somehow, 3/4 quart of extra fluid still makes me a little uneasy...

From Lucas' website:
One 24 oz. bottle of Lucas Transmission Fix can be added to existing fluid (a
moderate overfill is not harmful). A second bottle may be necessary in large or badly
worn transmissions.

Here's the best way to add Lucas to tranny fluid. Drain tranny of ALL fluid. Take unopened bottle of Lucas, open it and pour it in the drain pan along with the old fluid. Fill transmission fluid with good quality Redline, Royal Purple, Mobil 1 or similar quality oil. Drive. I bought some of that Lucas stuff too and after reading the post on Bob's oil site and some other info, I had second thoughts. Anyway, 190,000 miles on my tranny and all is well. Good luck!
