I just had a trans flush done. Car has 160 on it, automatic trans. In good shape but a bit of revving. Should I use this stuff as additional preventative measure?

I would actually strongly recommend a different Lucas product, which is the transmission fluid conditioner. Seeing as your fluid is new, the conditioner would be a better fit. The transmission fix is for serious transmission problems like slipping or late shifting. Having said that, It couldn't hurt. However, if you flushed the entire body of trans fluid, you should be fine. This product is made to rejuvenate old fluid. It may act as added protection, but the best results I've seen have been with adding the product to old fluid. For the price, you're not in the hole too much if you don't find a notable difference...

I would not flush, only full drain and replace. The lubegard might help. It won't hurt. I had torque converter problems with my Contour where the OD light would blink and the trans would shift hard. The lubegard helped extend the life a bit. I would recommend having a transmission tech scan the transmission for any codes and search online for any other owners who have a similar make and model.

"If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it" ... Nowhere in the automotive world does this phrase apply more than it does in pertaining to automatic transmission additives. If you're transmission is wearing out/slipping, then you have nothing to lose, but if it's working good, leave it alone. The only maintenance you should ever do is change the fluid and filter with the exact type recommended by the manufacturer. I've seen additives greatly improve a transmission, and just as often, I've seen them cause all kinds of problems.

Yes. I'm currently using this in my 2002 Ford Taurus.If you are having transmission issues this might help. However, this is not a miracle in a bottle. Something very close to it, but not a miracle. If you are already having transmission issues. I would reccommend that you do a coolant line ATF change with a Mercon V rated fluid or and add one fl oz of Lubegard Red to that for every quart in your transmission, and if that does not work double the dosage to 2 fluid oz per quart. Also, if you have not dropped the transmission pan and cleaned it out, that is a great starting point also.

Anytime u have a manual trans and u have to press the clutch to start your car u will need a bypass. Now a warning if u have the car in gear and start it it will move

I would suck it out and get rid of it. The product will likely stop your head gasket leak for a short time, but will cause much more damage to your engine in the long run. Therefore, unless you only want to run your car for a few more thousand miles then junk it, I would not use the product at all. That's my opinion.

Good Day,This product is in fact safe to use in your Honda transmission. Please let us know if you have any further questions.

I can't provide a technical answer to this question. You might want to consult the site, www.techron.com, for information provided by the company's fuel engineering staff. Personally, I use only this one product for preventative maintenance reasons in my own vehicles to avoid future problems.

If you've been using synthetic for the life of the car I would say that is okay but if you are looking to switch from long-term conventional use the switch may cause leaks as synthetic seems to clean areas out more. I know this from working as an oil tech and seeing countless people come in and want to switch to synthetic and come back with new leaks that didn't exist before

I believe it is the same. I have done some research and It is compatible with your vehicle's automatic transmission. Make sure you check your owners manual to ensure you purchase the correct amount of fluid for a drain and fill. It might take more than 4 quarts.

I can't answer, because I don't know how many years or miles the transmission fluid has been in use. I would venture to say that IF "the tranny fluid has been used for less than 10,000 miles AND is under 1 year old", it would probably be fine.

Yes you can ,unless you have a leak and are constantly having to add it,it wont hurt nothing.Most car manuals call for full strength in resevoir anyway.

HI, I used mobile 1 automatic transmission fluid, on my jag with the ZF 6 speed auto trans. It cured the harsh downshift problem and she shifts like new again.

My last two cars had over 150K on each of them with not even a drop or weep of leakage. My current cars have 50K each and don't leak. I think you'd be safe. Besides, it kind of defeats the purpose if you have to use tools to change your oil after you install one of these.

No, especially if the oil has recently been changed. I used it several months ago. I did notice the engine running smoother and pick up more pronounced. It also helped my engine burn less oil. Mind you, I have a 91 Acura Integra bought new and now has 425K on it! I will soon put her out to pasture. I am awaiting a 2015 Audi S4! ;-)

This is a top of the line ATF that will out perform pretty much all other products out there.. However, at 190,000 miles, the quality of your rebuild will probably be the deciding factor in your transmission life vs the quality of the fluid. So you may be better served sticking with something much cheaper.

This system is for retrofit use in vehicles manufactured without a TPMS system in them. You have a system in your Jetta made in accordance to Federal law. You cannot tamper with this system. Given that your vehicle is under warranty, the VW dealer would most likely remove any component that you instal that affects or interferes with any mandated safety system.My recommendation: buy a good tire pressure gauge, such as a Longacre or Accugage 0-60 psi model. Plan to spend about $20-25 and check your tire pressure twice a month and before any trip. Good luck.
