This is one of my Parents vehicles. It was bought new in 01. Truck has been very reliable. Engine, and Trans are original. Even the Starter, and Alternator are original.
The original transmission doesn't slip, and shifts fine, but it recently stated having a short hesitation to go into drive if it sits over night. Maybe a 3 second or so delay. It has had frequent trans drain, and fills all of it's life. Just to try, and eliminate some of the possibilities, I changed the fluid, and the filter screen for the first time last week. No change in it's behavior.
I've never been big into using additives, but I'm considering trying some Lucas Transmission fix. From what I've been told, the seals in the trans are worn, and it causes incorrect line pressure which causes the delay of going into drive.
Any thoughts about Lucas? Thanks!
