Looking for a good transmission additive

[stumpguy]

going to swap out atf this weekend in the silverado with some maxlife.Im interested in finding a good additive to help prolong it.would it be even worth it since the maxlife already has a good add pack?

Truck has 155,000 mi on it and it shifts like new.Any suggestions??

A lot of people swear by lubeguard red transmission additive.

 

[Dakota1820]

if you are going to use an additive the only one worth using is lube guard. its gooood stuff!!

I use lubegard red in my automatic eclipse. The car shifts smooth as butter.

I bought lube guard red, does that count? At 18K miles, I've yet to change the fluid. I will at 30K. Redline D4 and LGR.

Another vote for LG.

 

[SLCraig]

Nothing.. It shifts good, keep using MaxLife and change it at normal intervals.

 

[Trav]

LG Red for this one.

BG ATC +.

Forget the additives and go with Amsoil ATF.

 

[DanMiller]

I have been happy with Lubegard Transmission Additive.

+1 LGR

Sorry to jump in but LG Red for all models? I have 02 Camry.

If the automatic transmission fluid isn't good enough on it's own, why not purchase one that is rather than playing around with additives?

Just put in a quality fluid and be done with it.

I've never been an additive guy...every since I once heard someone say "all oil additives do is clog up your oil filter" (I know he was referring to motor oil, not tranny fluid, but it applies here too) I've felt it's better to just use the required fluid and change it frequently...

If you have a minor problem, an additive like Lube Gard can help things. If there is no problem, it won't help. If there is a major problem, nothing in a bottle will help.

He was probably referring to the lucas products.
