I've got a '99 Ranger 3.0L 4x4, the truck runs great but when you slow down sometimes the torque converter doesn't unlock and the truck almost stalls out. Also, when you take off from a stop there is a clunk like it took the torque converter a second to unlock. I have had my trans fluid changed about a year ago, and the fluid id darkening already. There is also a hard up shift from 3-2.
I know the real only fix to this is a complete rebuild, and a new torque converter. However I was wondering if there was an additive I could possibly add to prolong the life of the trans until I can get some money saved up.
I was looking at the Zmax additive, because it is a concentrated solution I can add it right to the trans without having to remove any fluid. I was also debating on using the Lucas trans stuff, however I didn't necessarily want to drain any fluid.
Is the Zmax one good? Or should I try something else?
Thanks!
