Things You Should NEVER do to Your Transmission.
Don't put any additives in your transmission. Transmission fluid is specially designed for the application. And it's a very competitive business. If there really was a superior additive to the fluid, the transmission manufacturers or the fluid makers would be falling all over themselves to put it in there. If you're having a problem, additives like Lucas may seem like a good idea at the time, and may actually work for a while. These additives work by swelling the rubber seals in the transmission. The problem is that the rubber seals keep swelling, so after about a month or so, they lose their integrity and fail. During this time, you'll be tearing up more of the transmission, and increasing your repair cost significantly.

Took the Lucas Trans conditioner back and got one more quart of ATF-4.
Got the truck home to do the fluid and filter change.
I put two big catch pans under the trans. I loosened all the pan bolts and
"cracked" the pan open enough to allow the fluid to drain out as much as possible.
Got what I thought was a lot of the cherry juice out. Didn't look too dirty.
Took out the pan off and the rest of the fluid went all over the place just as I expected.
Cleaned the inside and outside of pan. Pulled the Magnet and cleaned it out also.
Thought this would be a good time to sand and paint the pan since it was off.
(We'll see how this turns out.)
Now it's time to get the filters off and re-install the new ones.
The old filters are slippery as hell. This should be fun.................
