Reply With QuoteI can already hear the chorus singing "no, no, no"...
should I add Slick 50 or Lube Guard during AFT change?
I have posted about his problem and received lots of help but this question if about the solution offered - change the tranny fluid & filter.
It's a 1990 525i with 245K miles with a replaced tranny 10K miles ago with a used one form a junk yard.
The problem it's having is slipping during shifting between the low gears.
When I change the ATF does it makes sense to add something like Slick 50 or Lube Guard?
If so, which do you recommend and why?
Many thanks!

No... just flush out your tranny a couple of times.

Change the fluid and filter, no additives.

BG trany treatment
My indy put in some sort of BG trany treatment when they frist "changed-not flushed" and replaced the conventional ATF fluid at 77,000 miles. 30,000 mile later no problems. I then put in Mobil 1 synthetic ATF without additive. 10,000 miles later no problem.
Just my experience.

I just replaced the trans in my '95. The shop I use uses a Wynn's additive, makes the fluid very slick. My b-in-law also uses an additive. The additives in their opinion do not extend the maintenance interval as much as reduce wear.
Prior to my rebuild I serviced and flushed the trans twice (through the shop) and was able to squeak an extra 20k out of it.

Is this some sort of smart ass response? If so it is not deserved. Why did you bother posting if you not trying to be helpful.
If I read it wrong, I am sorry as I may just not understand some types of humor.

Its both a smart ass response and a helpful post.
The lesson to be learned is 10000 miles is nothing on a car.
