NO! Don't ever use any of Lucas' products for "quick fixes".

Why? I dont necessarily use them as quick fixes but use a majority of their products in my vehicles.

Every case I've seen their trans fix used, the transmission fails completely afterward, so I'd be extremely leery to use it in my own vehicles.

As for their other products, such as the oil stabilizer, it causes foaming of the oil, which is very bad for lubrication. Check it out: http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/images/lucas/lucas.htm

I would check to confirm that you're not dealing with a misfire under load condition. What is the condition of your plugs and wires? Make sure none are damaged or grounding out somewhere.

Hmm never thought of a misfire, There Napa Belden Wires, the exspensive ones, and factory AC delcos gapped at .035. It really feels like a shudder from the converter, Il be pulling 3rd, then it its overdrive, then suddenly shudddddeeeerr then lockup
