oilman Posted June 10, 2014 Author Share Posted June 10, 2014 Hi We don't recommend oil additives, they tend to ruin the oil, but I have no experience of that one. http://www.opieoils.co.uk/pdfs/tech-articles/Aftermarket-oil-additives.pdf Have you had the oil in the box changed recently? Do you know what oil is being used in the gearbox? Cheers Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 (edited) what are your thoughts on lucas transmission fix stop slip ? toyota supra auto 525 bhp 510 ftlb 1995 fast road driving He's the "oilman". You need to find the "snakeoilman" Having said that, back in the eighties Ford had a LOT of trouble with Granada auto boxes, with slippage or erratic changes, due to piston seal hardening. Some company, who I do not recall the name of, sold a transmission oil additive that softened the seals and in 90% of cases the `box magically started to function properly again. I made an indecent amount of money from this stuff, so not all "snake oil" vendors are bad news Edited June 10, 2014 by Chris Wilson (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellonman Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Not that my box has a problem at the moment and has had a full flush and has gulf multi vehicle atf . but where im running high power usinmg the lucas stop slip would thicken the trans atf and add preasure in the valve body thus making the clutches slip less if you see this stuff its very thick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oilman Posted June 10, 2014 Author Share Posted June 10, 2014 I see your reasoning, but as I don't deal with Lucas additives, I just don't know what will happen. There are the Red Line Racing ATF and Amsoil Super Shift ATF, which are designed to give less clutch slip. http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-1432-atf-automatic-transmission-fluid.aspx Cheers Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellonman Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Thanks for that Tim, do you know if i could add that to my existing oil ? or am i going to need a full flush with torque converter flushed ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 I would say line pressure adjustment is the way to go, not using a more viscous fluid. But I am not an auto box expert. I would treat such oil experiments as potentially sacrificial and have a spare box and TC available in case the experiment is a disaster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oilman Posted June 10, 2014 Author Share Posted June 10, 2014 Thanks for that Tim, do you know if i could add that to my existing oil ? or am i going to need a full flush with torque converter flushed ? Hi It's not an additive, so you need to replace the oil in the box with it. It's not cheap either, so that will be a fairly expensive job (although GEAR20 takes 20% off gear oils at the moment, but that is due to end soon).

oilman Posted November 21, 2014 Author Share Posted November 21, 2014 I can't say too much as it's not something that we sell, but own brand oils tend to be the basic option (like with everything else). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mgrene Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 (edited) As far as I'm concerned, this product is not sold any longer. What would you reccomend instead? The car is running with 630 bhp. Edited December 28, 2014 by Mgrene (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oilman Posted December 29, 2014 Author Share Posted December 29, 2014 Hi It is sold, but under the name Fuchs Titan Race Pro S. All of the 10w-50s we have are good, ester based oils. Cheers Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
