do lucas products actually do anything for hard shifting

Lucas products do exactly what they say.

I swear by them! I have the trans fix in my 2000 GTP right now as it stated to slip. I havent had a problem since!!!
I also pour in upper cylinder lube EVERY fill up of fuel.

is this just a temperary fix or will it last for awhile. my trans is just starting to slip

I would use lubegard before lucas anyday. I have no experience with Lucas products but anything that claims they "stop leaks" or "conditions seals to prevent leaks" is bad. They may work temporary but a year down the road all your seals have swollen and you have 5 different leaks. You could have one of many problems causing the slipping, id say first step is get it scanned with a trans-capable scanner.

if you live in Ontario around the Barrie area i can recommend a really good transmission shop.

Also, do realize, that these pour in fluids are not going to cure your problems. Only help to keep them from showing up for a little bit.Originally Posted by whitegtp
If your transmission is slipping, you most likely have an issue that will require a rebuild. The damage is already done. Putting this additive in will only cover up the problem. It won't take the place of a rebuild. It is not a miracle fluid.
Your best bet, rather than waste money on iffy additives, is to go to a transmission shop with a good reputation and have them drive the car and give a diagnosis. If possible have two or three places look at it. They know better what is going on inside your transmission. And most of the time when something like this occurs, a full rebuild is needed.

newb question. how long are these trannies good for miles wise? if maintained and not beat on everyday!
11-13-2008
mine went 172,000 miles befor it took a dump. previous owner didnt beat it but never maintaned it either.
11-13-2008
mine went at just over 100k, and then a shody tranny shop rebuild another 30k.
trannyman is the go-to man here for rebuilds and parts for our transmitions.
11-14-2008
Still driving 100 miles everyday on my stock tranny!

^damn. whats your exact miles on it?

Zef has accomplished something GM never intended. Auto makers see the transmission somewhat as a wear item. Eventually it will need to be replaced (like rotors or pads) due to wearing of frictions. Though, not nearly as often as said brake parts. They never had any intention for it to run 200k+ miles.

Just turned 204,000 last night. So probably sitting in the parking lot at 204,080 or something close.

mine died yesterday at 97,000 miles

Ive got a 98 olds intrigue my dad bought used in 99 with just over 10,000 km on it, now its got 304,000k on the original transmission (180k miles). Still shifts fairly well but I take it easy. This car has the 3800 and the 4t65e. I guess judging by most peoples luck that i am just lucky to get over 300k

i tried lucas to fix a sticking TCC solenoid and it didnt do anything
11-30-2008
Its a solenoid, why would lucas help? Its electronic.

^^^ Nice PWNTAGE
I have 177,xxx miles on mine at the moment it slips lightly between shifts but nothing major....I keep up on the maintenance on it and have a police impalla tranny cooler though.
