    Year, make, model? 3 speed, 4 speed? Better info would get you a better
    answer, but in general, don't use anything but what is recommended. No
    additives for Chrysler transmissions ... if you do you risk permanent
    damage. Drop the pan and replace the fluid and filter if this has not been
    done in 30K or more miles.

    I would guess that this info applies to engines too. I was in my local
    NAPA store where they have a demonstration fixture for this additive.
    On the one with the additive, the oil adheres to the gears much better
    than the one that does not have it. In most cases, additives are not
    recommended by Chrysler or other manufacturers.

    The demonstration is pretty convincing just the same.

    I've used the oil and trans. additives for about 5 years now with no
    problems.

    My car has almost 200K miles on it 3.3L V6 and the oil additive actually
    stopped oil consumption to where I didn't have to add any during oil change
    intervals and the tranny additive reduced a pump seal leak in my A604
    trans....

    I worked in a Major Auto parts store chain and many people bought Lucas and
    Many people swore by it.....My personal experience with it.....first
    additive I thought really did what it said it would do...

    The trans additive is just as thick as the oil additive so i'm sure that
    helped out on the leak...never noticed any real shift improvements to speak
    of though.

    One of the guys came in for the trans treatment one time to try in an old
    chevy truck that was sitting in a field for years...said it would start up
    but the trans wouldn't engage, even with fluids topped off...customer added
    the lucas and it did the trick...customer was still driving that old truck
    around when I left the store.

    Do some more research on Lucas if you're that concerned but I don't really
    recall anything negative that I've seen about it.

    Just as long as they are not related to the "Lucas" electrical
    supplier from the UK! You know, the idiots who brought us "Positive
    Ground"!

    Old Lucas jokes...

    "Lucas... prince of darkness!"

    "Lucas... inventor of the intermittent wiper!"

    "Lucas has invented a new vacuum cleaner. It is the only product they
    make which doesn't suck!"

    ;)

    And the only company that could make a fuel system for a supersonic
    airliner...

    You mean the Russians used a Lucas fuel system on the Tu-144?

    what's wrong with positive ground?

    I've been told that it actually has some benefits, like preventing body
    corrosion.

    Lucas Steering Fluid Addidive works very well > I had leaky seals n my 90
    Laser about 4 years ago. The steering is working fine and I only used one
    bottle, it does make the steering, initially, a bit stiff in winter but
    beats the hell out of buying a new rack or messing around with the seals.
