Not all transmissions fluids are created equal!!.
Automatic transmission fluid varies greatly, and not just with respect to the type of fluid such as Dexron, Mercon, Type F, etc.  The quality of ATF is of primary concern, which varies greatly between different brands.  We have found that Lucas brand semi-synthetic ATF is generally the best choice among commonly available ATF for use in our transmissions.  The Lucas brand has much higher quality friction modifiers and anti-foaming agents than other brands.  The improved friction modifiers will allow more positive clutch and band engagement, thereby reducing slippage, which will improve clutch, band, and seal life as well as reduce heat build-up.  Anti-foaming agents are critical for reducing fluid aeration, which can lead to pump cavitation, increased heat, and reduced line pressure.  Lucas brand also withstands higher fluid temperatures before experiencing fluid break-down.  It is worth noting that certain late model overdrive transmissions, especially Chrysler products, are best left using an OEM-grade synthetic fluid, as these transmissions are much more sensitive to fluid viscosity and additive packages.  Lucas brand semi-synthetic ATF is our product of choice among the many aftermarket fluids currently available, and is regularly in stock at our warehouse for immediate purchase.

At our booth at the Goodguys show in Phoenix last month we were amazed at how many car owners didn't completely understand the impact of  not having the right transmission and torque converter combination to match their engine. It's no secret that if you can't get the power to the ground, you aren't maximizing performance and therefore you're wasting money. Just because it's cheap doesn't mean it's the least expensive. Using the right equipment is always less expensive so give us a call and talk to one of our tech experts about the right equipment for your specific needs. It will pay dividends in the long run.
 

The proof is in the performance so call and talk with our experts to help with your specific needs.
