Default Where to add lucas transmission fix?

I'm going to start this out saying this is not a thread asking whether or not i should add this stuff into my transmission fluid but i'm just wondering where do you add it into? I've heard you add it into the tranmission fluid dipstick area but I want another answer just to be sure

well, that should work, it would just take a while (think of pouring a 20 oz soda through a straw without spilling it) but it is the easiest way.

otherwise on the tranny housing, near the bottom there should be a bolt with a square hole. this is your DRAIN bolt don't touch it. above that about 6-10 inches and to the back (towards the firewall) there should be a 17mm bolt. this is your FILL plug. you take this out and then with a long funnel (one with a tube at the bottom works best) you would then funnel it into the FILL hole. but unless your tranny is leaking or something, you'd probably have to drain out a bit of the oil in there so the new stuff has room to go in.

let me know if this stuff works, i've thought about it.

I tried it... I'm going to wait until tomorrow to actually post any kinds of results because I didn't really drive it much since i put it in. It was thick as hell but it wasn't bad and i'll just see how it goes! This is also on a 94 prelude si with 140k and just had 2 tranny fluid changes done (I had one done, ran for about 1000 miles, then another to clean da bitch out )

this is a good one guys ..i was to lazy to jackl up the car and screw with the stupid filler plug

i stole a funnel from my wife and taped it to the breather ...once i fill the unnel i realized that no air could escape the tranny so the oil would just stay there...i got a straw and put it in the funnel ...then blow to clear out the oil and all the air came shooting up ....some more would drain ....took for ever..

then the brain strated to work ......i stuck the straw in and clear it again so no oil would go into my mouth...then i sucked with all my might (i shoudl nt have siad that ) closed the straw...filled the funnel to the top and pulled the straw out and the oil was sucked into the case with an awfull force ..i just keep poring it in so no air would get in and i had 1.5 liters done in seconds
