Just serviced my 1993 Ford Taurus GL with the AXOD metric transmission. Transmission has 155,000 miles on it and last fluid change was at 90,000. Tranny issues are slipping and "jumping" into drive and reverse. Changed fluid and filter. Then, I drove the car several miles, pumped three quarts out with hand pump through filler tube, added three quarts, repeated, until I had removed and added 15 quarts of fluid. Added a bottle of "Lucas transmission fix," and drove for a week. Some improvement. Read about "Lubegard" products. Bought a bottle of Platinum, removed one quart of tranny fluid and added ten oz Lubegard and topped off with fresh tranny fluid, (Advanced Auto DexIII/M. Improvements noticed right away. Have been reading more about Lubegard and discovered the Red bottle is really a better application for my car.
Question. Tranny still slips a little and still "jumps" a little bit. Can I add a bottle of Lubegard Red to my tranny along with the Lubegard Platinum? The Platinum seems to be working well with the Lucas Transmission fix, (or in spite of it). I would really like to try the Red but do not want to create an "unholy mixture" in my transmission. Trying to put off a rebuild as long as possible.
Thanks for the info - Glenn.
