Scotty 3:14 YOU FORGOT TO PUT THE PETER PARKER (SPIDERMAN) PHOTO 😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆
They will not survive
How do you fuq up blinkers 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Scotty my 2006 Avalon has a tick on cold start up and sometimes after warm up.should I be worried? It only has 106,000 on it, it runs great.
@@rebeccadumbrow1213 that's a common problem on those.
Scotty reminds me of my late farther who was a mechanic as well and wore denim jackets too actually kind of looked like Scotty too That's why I love watching him remind me of my old man.... Keep up great work Scotty hope ur around a long time cuz the world needs ppl like you
A lot of people say Scott is their favorite uncle that they wish they had 😃
I've said the same thing. Scotty reminds me of my late mechanic father. Speaks about cars just the same and was a wealth of knowledge. My dad was also very outgoing and would talk to anyone about cars or anything. He also knew all the up to date news stuff related to cars most people would think was boring. And he could tell you what cars to get and not to get based on data just like Scotty. Anyway Scotty is definitely a guy you can trust in my book.
Did your father enjoy double Jacks and coke like Scotty?
@@JAYBLAK00 yeah he kinda did. It was the 70's
What if your father was early ?
I have a 96 Buick Park Avenue.
Several years ago I was having transmission problems. At the time the car had 220,000 miles on it.
I had someone change the transmission fluid and filter, also added a quart of Lucas Transmission fix.
Today I drive it 60 miles round trip every day to work. It now has 341,000 miles on the transmission.
$150 was the cost.
Scotty is a legend

That Lincoln Town Car was SUPER CLEAN 😍🔥
Okay the pictures today were on point 😂
“Thick” and “plastic” 😂
LUCAS makes amazing Power Steering Fluid
Love that lucus stuff
I used it in a older Nissan Maxima with full synthetic atf and took it from barely move to drivable .
In 2015 I bought a 2008 Corolla, and it had a lot of transmission slippage causing bad shuddering when I accelerated hard from a stop. I added 2/3 a container of that exact same stuff to my transmission (after draining some transmission fluid out), and the problem mostly went away right away, and a month later the transmission was performing perfectly, just like a new car. So yeah, that stuff sometimes works wonders, other times it has no effect.
Is it necessary to drain some fluid out? Or can I just added it on top of ex. Transmission fluid
@@OmarChannel yea or else it'll overfill
@@driveonthestraightpath2138 unless your tranny is leaking already
@@mofomoco yea true
@@OmarChannel Unless it leaks, its better to take out a quart of old fluid before putting Lucas Fix.
Scott did a video backing a Lucas product... now that's what I call being familiar with cars
Lmfaoo “stuff is thick” the picture he puts 😂😂😂🤦♂️
😂 he don't miss
I love the Town Car/Grand Marquis/Crown Vic. When I was in high school way back in the 80s I wanted a black on black Town Car Cartier Edition.
Wooooo! That is a "snazzy" ride!
Like a rolling tuxedo.
Ain't know one like Scotty. What a mind. Respect.
Ain’t know one? 🤔
I used the Lucas product when I did a drain and fill on my 2005 Nissan Titan at 88,000 miles. That stuff is supper thick. Transmission still running smoothly.
Where you having trouble with it? Or were you just using it as a protective
@@shawnajones8149 Preventative maintenance. Scotty had mentioned doing this in a previous video a long time ago. I had bought my 2005 truck in 2013 with 55,000 miles on it. not knowing the history on trans maintenance, I finally decided earlier this year to do a drain and fill and used Lucas at that time. I should have done it years ago.
L M • Another product i have used for the automatic transmisión on my 08 Toyota Tacoma accesscab and on my 2006 Honda Civic EX. Just a few drops (6 to 7) in the trans filler tube. Using **( Prolong ) Súper lubricants. Dump in the drops every once a month for about 2 to three months. If the transmission has a little slip or hesitation in shifting from 2nd to third. It will improve dramaticaly with stronger crisper quicker timing between shift points. You will notice the difference as the trans will also shift a lot smoother without any effort.
@@loumitch1
Keep in mind, when u do a drain and fill u only get about 35% of the fluid out.....so u should do another drain and fill after a couple weeks to get out another 35% or so. After 2, u get about 70% of the fluid out.
My friend helped me with a drain and fill. To use Lucas now, do I need to siphon some out?
Good day to you Scotty.
Probably won’t be buying any new vehicles in my house till all this craziness settles down.whenever that is.

It's never settling down. It's going to get much, much worse. It's all by design and it was planned a long long time ago.

Scottys advice led me to owning a Toyota Tacoma which is by far the coolest and most useable vehicle I’ve ever owned. Every time it starts right up and the AC blows ice cold, I thank Scotty.
Actually the older Toyotas were much better than the newer ones
Scotty is the man with info you can believe.
2007 Tacoma & love it!

Thank you so much, Scotty, for all of your helpful videos. My Young children and I watch your videos to learn and to help us work on our own cars. Please keep the pictures and puns family friendly. Thank you!
My son has a 1999 Lincoln Towncar executive series. It does the same thing. Thank you again Scotty for helping us with this. We will try this treatment and we'll see how it goes.
Come back here and let us know if it helps buddy!
Did it work?
@@GunGlutton yes
@@dennisbeam199 just put some in my 07 towncar with the same problems as in the video… it works!
I appreciate everything you do on here. Everyone could learn a lot from you, I know I do
Greetings from Ireland Scotty.
Your insights are a great help!
Cheers!
He’s superb at what he does.
This stuff is thick the picture 😂😂
Good catch 😝
Scotty your commentary is the most honest analysis of car manufacturers
Manual transmission is indeed beautiful.
True sportsman drive manuals
I had a 2003 Mercury GrammaKey with torque converter shudder and I fixed it by dropping the tranny pan, putting in a new filter, and putting in close to 5 quarts of tranny fluid. it fixed the shudder. I also replaced the pan with one that has a drain valve so I was able to drain and put new transmission fluid in every oil change. I've since bought a 2011 Town Car snd I'm doing the same process before the shuddering starts, or worse.
You won't get this at your local Jiffy Lube. You need someone like Scotty to work on this.
Right....
You won’t even get oil at Jiffy Lube…
@@CupwakeRBLX u would get recycle oil lol
@@captinbeyond lol
@@andersonrodriguez8258 Conventional oil is 80% recycled wherever you buy it...
Been using this stuff for years its amazing
Man, this guy is great. And he’s right - we don’t all want to rip people off to make money. Most of us would rather be happy, comfortable, and decent to each other.
I had a distinct shutter going from 45 to 60 mph. I used the Lucas transmission additive shown here along with a new filter and all new synthetic Valvoline MaxLife transmission fluid. Shifted like new afterward. Its It's been 4 years and about 40,000 miles. The transmission itself now has about 380,000 miles. A341E 4 speed .
That Platinum S20 scan tool is incredible!!
I have a 2000 Ford Explorer 4.0L with 297k miles. I have been using the Lucas treatment plus Castrol High Mileage transmission fluid for 9 years now. Still truckin!
Hi, I have the same 2000 Explorer, 222k. The 3rd is having a delay engaging since I drove on plenty of ice roads last week. Do you think the Lucas will fix it?
I put that Lucas in my 98 Jeep Cherokee and I never had a problem with ever again and I mean years later I actually sold it running perfect still.
I've seen this scenario before. The shop misdiagnosed by saying it was torque converter.... Turns out to be servor bore thingy that ford used in these cars and trucks. When you added that stuff it help seal up that plunger that activates 1rst,5th gear
Yep there’s a pin in there that wears , replace
That transmission has no fifth gear. But I agree a converter doesn't cause slow shifts. Converter either jump skips under load or grenades and spreads steel schrapnal throughout the trans.
Lucas did wonders for our 2007 Taurus
You are right on Scotty. Love your videos!
ive used that stuff in every auto transmission car ive ever owned and it has saved many of them
I’ve used Lucas Transmission Fix in my 1998 Subaru Impreza. Here’s the low down. The first time I ever did it I didn’t remove any fluid and it definitely seemed to help but it wasn’t a magic cure. Things did get a little smoother though. I feel like because of Lucas viscosity it’s better for slipping than rough shifts. But I’ve now learned I can pump out fluid from the dipstick hole and refill my transmission with new fluid and Lucas. I highly recommend this method even on higher mileage cars. It’s seemed to help a lot.
What’s the tool called to remove pump out transmission fluid ?
@@alexmontoya2171 Probably used a fluid extractor.
Well on Hondas there is something called a transmission drail bolt 🔩! Maybe your Subie don't have one LOL

I’ve been watching you for so long and have learned so much!! Good to see you’re still making this videos! Right now I’m having transmission issues so I came back to watch some of your videos 😅🙏
HILARIOUS how you put the picture of a girl when you said “thick” and “made of metal and plastic” 💀
Great video Scotty keep it up
This was actually a really interesting video. The way he breaks down how he's analyzing the data in real time is awesome
Scotty ROCKS!! 💪
03 F-250SD plow truck beater and shutter on take off..Took out a qt and use Lucas n WOW what a difference..ALL shutter gone on normal take off..Slight shutter on HARD take off..Scotty for PRES. HE HELPS PEOPLE..
I HOPE A LOT OF PEOPLE UNDERSTAND YOU!
I learned a lot from you, and I confirmed a lot of things that I knew from before ...
I made one “mistake” and bought a Porche Cayenne 2012 mod. 958.
Very good car if you are also a good mechanic .. :-)
I live in Europe .. and many cars that you said are good .. there are none here ..
So you have to know how to work around the car alone and manage .. or be rich and pay for expensive service ..
I learned a lot from you .. and I would like you to continue with videos that show us how to repair cars .. and how to prevent mistakes from happening ...
The images that pop up while he's talking are everything :-D
Outstanding video!
The way Scott’s hands and arms are always moving around looks like he is directing an orchestra.
He must have been raised by Italians
For Frank Zappa
He is directing the entire US Government...no one else seems to be.
Hoping this guy in my country. Wish you all the best sir.
i dig your style, man. thank you
Thanks Scotty good advise.
"You want to lubricate the parts that move."
Riiiiight.
had a ford aod in a crown vic. it was this transmission's predecessor. i'll admit i was young and stupid, too rough on that car... lost overdrive in it one day. dropped the pan, changed the fluid and filter and no luck. done this exactly but without the pump or a drain plug. put some lucas in it and 4th came back. it was working just as it should again. i didn't push it, learned to drop her in drive if i was gonna do something silly and to maybe not act silly so often lol. drove her about 6 months or so and sold it to a buddy. he knew what i went through with it prior and the fix used, it wasn't like that. it worked for several years after he got it. it's a great product imo. i don't know that i would dump it in a modern transmission unless it was a do or die thing. modern fluid, synthetic if you can get it and the friction adders in them with the level of programed control on them, automatics are not bad. honestly i always took what i could get cheap, preferably cheap and broken down...i preferred a stick or 3 speed auto older design over an o/d unit because it was one less thing to worry about on high mileage neglected vehicles. now 20 years later, i don't care either way.
Funny, I literally just used this on my 1990 Chevy 454 a week ago after some slipping and it worked great!
Lucas Trans Fix works. It gets rid of slips and hard shifting. Amazing stuff.
power steering fix works also.stopped a steering box leak,and whining p/s pump
As long as its not too far gone,if it is no matter wat you dump in it ..good luck
Scotty, you did again with great car advice. "I'd never buy a new car, they cost too much money." I have been saying this to my friends for the longest time. You drive a brand new car off the lot and it looses a lot of it's value immediately and it's now a second hand car. So what is a new car really?? Cars are made to be driven hundreds of thousands of miles and besides, older models can't go out of fashion because they are late already, but if you chase new cars, with new designs, they change every year and that's a sure way to keep you in debt. If you ask me, newer cars are made to rip you off, as everything is made cheap these days, so why not buy something older where you know exactly what to expect and you'll save money!
I have a shudders on my 2011 camaro SS with 6L80 tranny. Lucas helped approx for a 3000 miles. It works great but lasts for the short mileage
Excellent product I've used it many times
Scott a good kind man
Scotty, you have helped thousands of people by telling them how to fix there vehicle and it amazes me how simple you make it look even though sometimes it's not as easy as it looks. Scotty, i was wondering if you was going to get a truck would you still recommend a Toyota and Honda and which one will last the longest?
Toyota and Honda are some of the best...but Hondas trucks are kinda odd for a truck..I wouldn't want one , I'd buy a Tacoma with a standard tranny
I'd go with the Toyota whether it's the Tundra or Tacoma.
If you can wait, Toyota's coming out with a cheaper truck like a Maverick competitor.
Nice Cars! I saw one today at work!!
Thank you for the video
I’ve improved 3 separate transmissions using that stuff. It’s liquid magic. All has issues between 2nd-3rd gear
Regular Red Lubegurd has my yr 2000 accord 4cyl running good, is Lucas better
Sounds like you're driving some form of early 2000s GM truck or van (or other rear wheel drive using the 4L60 or 80e.
They show their age with rough shifts and eventually constant noise.
How often used?
I just saw a similar video for a 2006 cobalt fluid trans with this lucas fix i did it as well works perfectly also i did it with a 2008 altima is a special ctv trans fluid additive anti slip etc awesome as well 👍👍
Frm Africa
Scotty is a honest Man with honest Man!
Hi Scotty, i bought a towncar and the trans was slipping in both forward and reverse, i removed 48 oz ( 2 bottles worth of that stuff your showing Lucas) of old very dirty trans fluid....wala its amazing...but now i need to know how often should I remove some fluid and replace with some new Lucas oil. oh btw Im 65 yr old lady that has saved thousands fixing my own car with all your help...you're the best...
I’m with you about boycotting all those greedy manufacturers and dealerships. They are so rotten to the core!
♥️ been using Brad for 30 years. Very good products.
Scotty it's the lockup clutch in the converter. The friction material is different from the other clutch material. Shudder Stop stops the engagement problem instantly but lasts for only a little while. I use it annually on my 95 Mustang.
SCOTTYYYY OMG I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOUUU MY GRAND MARQUIS IS DOING THE SAME THING ❤️
I really enjoy driving my 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis. It's to bad they didn't continue to update these cars . They are comfortable and mechanically they are well put together.
I like the idea of the follow ups
I did this with my 2013 Cadillac XTS because the transmission was slipping badly into second or third gear with a bam! Took out a quart of transmission fluid put in that Lucas fluid and it worked. No slipping no banging smooth as silk now. Now if only the rest of the car were not a piece of crap. Shocks and struts went out and now all the bearings are failing for the second time.
Scotty, I have a 2014 F-150, 3.5 eco boost with a 6speed transmission with 67000 miles on both. I had the transmission serviced, changed fluid & scanned car for problems because I had had some hard shifts at my low speed & when on 6 hour highway trip which I usually cruise at 70-80 mph
I love this dude 🤘
No idea how this showed up in my recommendations as I'm not a car guy in the slightest being a computer programmer, but I'm so glad it did! Love this guy and an easy sub
I bought a new Crown Vic in '96 and the transmission had a mind of it's own... it would down shift and accelerate without warning, and it would pop out of gear and then slam into gear all on it's own. Ford gave me a episode recorder, and even with all of that data they still never figured out the problem. I traded it in on a new Acura, and ended up in Toyota vehicles after that.
Bro this the man fr . This is exactly 100% what my 99 toyota camrys transmission 🤣🤣☠I did the same thing an it helped alot
Scotty, Doc from Long Island here. Happy to hear you've moved north, to Rhode Island, where it's cooler. You know old fruit spoils faster in warmer climates......LOL.....
Scottys advice led me to buy a 03 grand marquis and its an awesome car! I even did the same thing to the tranny fluid
Speaking of Hyundai, don’t put any Lucas stopleak or other Tx fluid additive in Hyundai transmissions. It made my 2002 shudder and I had to drain and refill several times to fix.
Don't buy a Hyundai , that is the biggest lie of a vehicle you could buy other than Yugo ,best thing to do is sale it before it starts giving you issues
Scotty the Legend.
My wife and I were driving her 04 Lexus RX330 on I-10 in Kerrville, TX last week not far outside of San Antonio. Her transmission finally had enough and left us stranded. 225K on the clock. Those model years from 04-06 were notoriously weak transmissions. We had the car shipped back home and are going to put in a remanufactured one soon.
225 k miles, that's pretty good I had a mazda mvp tran broke only 50k miles
on the bright side, it lasted 5x longer than a chevy cruise!
Hi Scotty love from Scotland sir
hello!
I have had great success with Lucas stop slip.
That Lucas stuff fixed the tranny problem in my Buick Park Ave.
What was the transmission problem?
10:03 What a perfect law enforcement cruiser👍👍👍.
I use this stuff as cut fluid for drilling holes. It really reduces friction and keep the bits at low temperatures.
Good stuff....
My 2009 Accord Coupe with 191,000 miles shutter at around 30-40 mph, but besides that range it just runs!! Might look into Lucas stuff
The utilization of the additive has resulted in the restoration of the functionality of my Ford Galaxy, enabling me to drive it for an additional 5,000 miles. While I acknowledge that this solution is not permanent, it provides a temporary reprieve until the transmission can be professionally rebuilt.
I can't believe it either til I see part 2.
3:30! Scotty knows THICK!! LOL, his pic pops ups make(help) us understand 👍
Ive had good luck with this stuff as well
Lucas products are the Truth, I use oil stabilizer evey oil change and when I change transmission fluid I use stop slip whether it is slipping or not.
I LOVE FORD FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE.
I've had good luck with Ford trucks as well.
Try Fr3 additives. For gasoline and Diesel engines. It tightened up my engine, and made it run like new
It's so funny. My dad used to watch ur show on tv and now I learn from u on TH-cam.
Scotty had a tv show? What’s was it called?
One of my favorite TH-camrs and I am no mechanic!
Ha! The graphic that pops up when he says "this stuff is thick"!
My father used to heat up a can of STP Oil Treatment in the same manner.
Funny.. In the old days we would use GL-5 or gear oil.. about a half pint and it worked great!
Scotty is 💯🎯
