Nothing I could have dumped in would have fixed it or prevented it. A new TCC solenoid (would have been about a $350 job for a customer) and it's back in business and the jerk is gone. I just had a slight 45mph jerk in my own 2000 volvo (175K) and after a fluid change and a few more weeks of it still slightly doing it the thing finally threw a code for a TCC solenoid. If you try a dump in fix and keep driving it for a while it might progress past being repairable to the point that you need a full rebuild. You may have a repairable issue like a failing solenoid or range switch. Get a shop to pull transmission codes and see if there are any codes in the TCM. I have never seen any transmission additive do anything other than cause more problems than it had before.Įverything the transmission needs is in the fluid chemistry already, and transmissions can be sensitive to things like friction modifiers, so adding stuff that messes with that is rarely a good idea. I can guarantee it won’t have more power from anything you pour into it. But it sounds to me like you are determined to put that in your transmission and you are expecting more power. No Lucas product works or does what it claims, so that is a waste of money and may hurt the car since it wasn’t designed to ever have that crap in it. It isn’t going to repair a blown transmission, but it is a good proven additive that does actually work. Now if you want something that may actually help since the fluid was done not too long ago, you can see which lubeguard additive works with your transmission fluid since they make different formulas for different brands of cars. At Repco, we have all the Transmission Additives items you need, including Lucas Transmission Fix Stop Slip 700mL - 10009. If you add it and there is NO change at all then you know it is the transmission itself. It doesn’t last a very long time, but, if you add that and it fixes it, you know it is torque converter shudder. ![]() There is a lubeguard brand anti shudder additive in a little plastic capsule that you can add to it. 0:00 / 8:23 Intro Does Lucas Transmission Stop Slip Work Full Review on this Quick Fix Chad Williams 23. What I would recommend that won’t hurt anything but may at least answer your question as to what is going on. It won’t kill it but it is almost guaranteed to not do anything positive. Will that make it better? No, not likely. I look at Lucas as being the deer hunters solution to all his mechanical problems.It will thicken the fluid and cause higher oil pressure. I replaced the valve body on mine this year and harness, its shifting good. I do not know anyone of us that have not had problems with are O1Ms. ![]() A premature additive like Lucas only makes it worse due to its viscosity. Slipping, TC surge, flare shifting are signs. The valve bodies in the O1M are noted for having problems overtime these problems cause seal and clutchpack problems leading to gear damage. The Mobile runs high in price but is cheaper than the other two fluids that work those being Pentasine, and Royal Purple. Tried a bottle of Lucas stop slip to no avail. Fluid still has red tint but has been 100,000 miles since a change. Revs to 2,500 RPMs or more before moving. If its a 2003 I would use care, its your VW and it is unique. 266,000 MILES Transmission only slips when starting from a standstill like a stop sign. Four liters is expensive and thats what it takes. I recommend Pentasine ATF if your changing and replacing the filter. The O1M is touche to begin with, I personally wouldn't add insult to injury. ![]() I have used Lucas when I was a kid on GM transmissions 350 and 400 turbos and never saw a benefit. Mobil one full synthetic Multi vehicle sold at auto parts stores works well. Pentasine is a mineral oil based fluid and is recommended. Trans X high milage seems to work better in the O1M. Its a temporary fix that not always works. I have used the stop slip on an old Grand Prix this was slipping heavily and it almost completely mitigated the problem. Lucas Transmission Fix tested in a worn transmission. Chances are that it will get you a couple hundred miles, and your tranny will go out when you least expect it.
