Default Anybody ever try Lucas Trans Slip addative in a b4 auto trans?

I'm on my second trans now and both of them have final drive slips. I've tried just about everything including paying an Audi tech big $$ to give me a diagnosis of "final drive slip" and the only solution givin was "rebuild or replace".

A friend told me that Lucus worked in his Audi. He over filled the trans a little and added 8oz of Lucus.

Default You shouldn't ever add any kind of addatives to anything in the car..

Most of them work but end up hurting things worce in the long run.

Default I agree with your comment about addatives. But the trans is already F'ed up...

and I doen't really care about the long run. I've already sent one auto-box to the scrap yard, so if Lucus allows me a few more miles out of this one then I'd be happy.

I tried it, but it was too thick to pump through my hand pump up into the fill hole from the bottom. I'd love to figure out a better way to get it up in there.
