I will do the 3x drain and fill and probably change the TSS. But nothing major. I want to use an ATF additive. Any thought on this? Which brand name and how much too use? I read that a product called LubeGuard is pretty good. And what about Lucas? Thanks

Additive is usually to cure a problem (rough shifting, slipping, etc..) If it ain't broke, Don't fix it. 96' ATX Zetec- stock 96' ATX Zetec- Modded Kenwood KDC-319 5.75"-2 MTX 12's Roady XT Custom door panels Mystique Cluster/oil pressure Getting repainted(in primer) Pre98 Lip SE skirts Mystique front lip dingless badgeless

The CD4E is bad for overheating. I didn't have any problems before. But, it has never shifted better. 95 Contour GL. Bought new. BAT Sway Bars/Pioneer CD/Koni Rear Struts/Mobil Fluids. Looking for 15" alloy rims-PM me. 180,500km's so far.
