Anyone try this stuff? I have used some of the Lucas products before and they seem to work pretty good. I just woundered if anyone has used it and had good results, I plan on putting some in my AW4 with 213k miles on it. Im not expecting it to shift like new, but I hope for some improvment.

i've used it in several cars and it only really helped for about a week, after that you could only feel a difference on a cold morning, real harsh snap your head shifts until it warmed up.

I'm always preaching this but try a fluid flush and filter, dont just do a service flush either, just take it somewhere and get the whole damn thing emptied lol

I work at a Jeep dealer, I flushed it out with about 16 quarts not too long ago and it didn't make that much of a differance.

Thanks for the input though I may try the lucas "Snake oil" and see what happens.

I've used it on a C6 transmission and C4, both where old as hell and shifted like crap.......Lucas Helped alot!!! I went from worried if I was gonna make it, to dependable shifting. Not perfect but a definite improvement.
