Thoughts on Lucas Oil "Transmission Fix"?
My 2000 Impala has 225,000 miles on it. I bought from someone who said
they took care of it, but they really abused it. I have it almost restored to
factory condition, but the transmission fluid has never been changed
before. It is a tan color and doesn't smell too bad. I was wanting to do a
complete flush to get all of the fluid out of the torque converter and
everything. I'm just very worried that when I change the fluid, the
transmission is going to crap out on me. I've heard of it happening before
because of the worn clutch material. I'm thinking of just putting some of that
"Transmission Fix" in it. It shifts fine and everything, its just when it goes in
reverse (warm or not) the car kind of bangs into reverse and it shakes but
when it is engaged, it seems fine. The drive gears are okay, it just seems a
little hesitant to go from 2nd to 3rd. I've heard of people changing their fluid
and it fixing things like this, but I was very afraid to because I didn't want my
transmission to just quit on me. What should I do?
