Can I put Lucas oil in my transmission?
Lucas Transmission Fix is a non-solvent formula that stops slip, hesitation and rough shifting in worn transmissions and completely eliminates most seal leaks. Use in any transmission for preventative maintenance. Use also in light duty manual transmissions to increase shifting ease and transmission life.
Can you add Lucas Transmission Fix to a full transmission?
Although the instructions say that you can add Lucas Transmission Fix to existing transmission fluid, I recommend checking the fluid levels first to make sure you won’t overfill. So if you’re going to add a whole bottle of Lucas (24 ounces) then 24 ounces of transmission fluid should be removed.

What causes a transmission to slip on a Lucas?
In most cases, the transmission slips due to a clogged valve body, worn band, or bad torque converter. Lucas can be useful in freeing up any worn transmission valve body solenoids. It also has friction modifiers that are added to renew transmission bands.
