In most cases, synthetic transmission oils will work as long as it is not specifically stated not to use it with synthetic motor oil. In reality, it is treating the surfaces of the transmission and not the fluid itself.
So far, I've only used the engine version which works great, so it's worth cleaning your engine first. I used the "Lucas transmission fix for my Honda conventional auto transmission, which also worked immediately (it had covered
While it may provide assistance to your transmission, it is unlikely to stop the leak completely

At my last oil change (2001 Suburban 1500, 217k miles), I added Slick 50 oil treatment, and I was so surprised by the improvement (quieted noisy valve lifters, noticeably smoother running) that I will now add it at Therefore, when I decided to DIY a trans fluid change (removing the bottom pan and replacing the internal filter), I decided to give their transmission product a shot There is a difference between 1st and 2nd gears on this transmission. (GM 4L60E) It is dependable, but the shift from 1st to 2nd gear is a little hard. The way I have adjusted for it over the years is to back off a little as the shift RPM for that gear reaches a certain point. I noticed that the transition from first to second was noticeably smoother after I put these things in, without having to do my 'easing off the gas' trick as I had previously been doing. My opinion is that it's not a miracle of any kind. It's just a good product that gives older engines and transmissions a little boost. It's worth the small additional cost it adds to your oil change and transmission fluid change.
When our 18+year old car's transmission got stuck in gear, we had to reset it. While it has been suggested it should be rebuilt, we would not want to put that much effort into a vehicle so old. It was my dad, a mechanic, who suggested we try this stuff to prolong its life until it is Once I removed enough transmission oil to add this, it proved a bit difficult to keep the oil from overfilling, but once it did, it really smoothed out everything. It has been a long time since we had a "stuck" There has been only one "gear" episode (since the first one a couple months ago) and everything has been running smoothly. In the hopes of extending this vehicle's life by 6 months or a year, we plan to replace it in 6 months or a year.
As a car that our son is learning to drive, we recently purchased a 1985 Dodge Ram 150 half ton truck. It has the old automatic transmission, but has a new engine, a 318. There were some issues with the transmission, including slow shifting and difficulty shifting from park to drive. First gear was noisy, as was the shift lever shifting from park to drive. It was even worse because of the cold weather. The old fluid had been drained from the pan, but there was still some in the torque converter. There was no change in the problems. Earlier this year, my dad was informed that a transmission mechanic recommended this Slick 50 product to him, so I decided to try it. There is no doubt that this The product has driven 600 miles since we added it, and is still just as good as the day we added it. It is a smooth and fast shifter with a gear shift lever that is easier to utilize. There is a noticeable difference in noise between first and second gear. Transmission repair services are available if you need them This is the best conditioner I have used! Our son's high school friend's transmission is having problems similar to those I was experiencing with this additive, and I bought a second bottle for him.
When I put this in a 2010 Honda Civic with automatic transmission, I was experiencing some shaking/stuttering issues when stopped. That problem instantly went away after I installed this. All is well now, including the shifting and driving. I am very If the transmission fluid ever needs to be changed, I will definitely buy this product again.
When I owned a Hyundai Sonata v6 in 2003, I tried a few. We found this one to be the best. It prevented the slippage. We do not know why you do not see it Although it costs $16, I find it to be worth the money. The cost of the service is less than an oil change, and you get a lot for what you pay.
It has been over 20 years since I have used slick 50. The best in the business. Those who say it's only a placebo would be wrong. This stuff works, and I will continue to use it.
This is for my automatic transmission that works fine at the moment, but I plan to use this the next time it needs to be serviced because transmission filters and fluid need special attention.
Using this stuff in conjunction with your atf fluid I believe will prolong the life of your transfluid. Ive been using slick 50 for many years without harming the car, but it has benefits to the car.
