owner told me they took it to midas they told them they need new trasmission . I just
took out the old fluid and it was dirty and I put new filter . I am just wondering ,I been told
that I should use lucas stop slip with new fluid , other rumors say just new filter and ford
brand transmission fluid will solve the problem I need your advice , shall I put lucas stop
slip or just straight ford fluid ? I have heard lucas can cause more damage . I need advice
