Tnasmission acting funny since Lucas
About 2 weeks ago, I changed my transmission filter in my 95 Mark VIII, and added a
container of Lucas transmission additive. I used Dexron III/Mercon, as I always have. Now, it seems to slip a bit, and sometimes seems like it doesn't downshift as quick as it used to. It does not have the typical "shudder". It seems to feel a little better the longer the car is driven. The car has about 115k miles, and I know that this transmission has had regular fluid changes througout it's life. I last changed it a little over a year ago, same fluid, and Lucas. I have been using the Lucas in hope that it would stop a slight leak that I have at the front pump (which it hasn't helped). I did not do a complete "flush", just changed what comes out when I drop the pan. I am wondering if i should drain the fluid, and maybe drain is from the torque converter too... Any suggestions? Also, does a 96 Mustang V8 transmission fit my car? (just in case) Thanks. |

I am not pro any additive that calls itself a leak stopper as this results in the swelling and eventual break down of good rubber seals by turning them into mush

take her to jiffy lube and do a complete fluid exchange. you gotta get all the old stuff out and i mean every drop. try changing the filter and screens. sometimes the old fluid dont like the new fluid.
