Mileage of your Nissan? Why do you want to use it?

What is the current condition of your transmission fluid? Is it at the correct level? When was it last changed? If it's been quite a while but the fluid is not burnt and gritty I'd try first doing a drain and fill, and change the filter if it has one, to see if that helps. If the problem persists you'd have nothing to lose by using the Lucas product but it would be a temporary stopgap at best.


I’ve recently had the fluid changed but was not able to change filter because of them not doing it.


They also changed rear diff fluid and sprayed the hell out of the linkages


In that case you could go ahead and try the Lucas additive. You need to drain some fluid out first so as not to overfill the transmission which could lead to more problems. Bear in mind that no one can predict what the result will be.


Fair enough if I can get to see Mr.Scotty I’d get his advice on it as well

Run a scan.  If it's your IAC, it will throw a code.

So this is the answer to my own question I’m finally starting to realize for my transmission problem has to do with the Idle Air Control Valve why? It don’t slip when I’m constantly giving it the pedal but when I ease into it I’m noticing it more and more now.
