got fed up on the tranny and decided to remove around 2L of tranny and filled it up with 2L DELO gold engine oil. Sira na din naman, palitan na din, why not do an experiment?

Took some few testdrive minutes whether any bad effect will show up. Engine felt the same power , engagement felt the same but reverse gear engages INSTANTLY.
Mine had a delayed engagement for drive and reverse. Reverse was worse cuz it took around 30 mins at the worst to engage when the tranny was cold. I put in this additive with my last fluid change and so far no problems with my transmission. I don't want to experiment with thicker fluid or oil in my transmission since I don't want to replace it. Lucas oil had a very thick viscosity like motor oil and people said it did more harm to their transmissions than good. Trans-X has the same flow rate as regular ATF so it should be better. My mission is to try and save my transmission and extend it's life. I'm hoping this product will do that cuz feedback from people in the USA say it's been 2 yrs since they put this in and their transmission still works great.

I'd rather spend 2k for an additive that can extend my AT transmission life for years rather than paying 30k for a rebuild that will not guarantee good results either. A surplus tranny is a big gamble as well. You might pay 8K for something that doesn't work either. I'd rather keep what's original from the factory and extend it's life.
