2006 Ford Ranger Sport 103k v6 3.0L
Hey Scotty! Thanks for the great videos. I just got done watching your tutorial on transmissions that are rough like mine. I'm thinking if adding that Lucas to it as the color looks good. It's okay to just dump the whole bottle in there? I ask because the owners manual says don't add more if it shows full. I assume that amount of Lucas wouldn't raise the level that much, but wanted to ask to be sure.
Thanks!
You might have to suck some fluid out before you put the Lucas in to prevent overfilling the transmission. You can always change the fluid too and substitute 1 quart of ATF for the Lucas additive.
How long has it been since the transmission fluid and filter have been changed? If not within the last 60K miles I'd do that before trying an additive. Also not a bad idea to have a shop check for transmission codes. In any event you do not want to overfill the transmission or seals might be damaged. If you do add the Lucas additive some fluid should be removed first.
