Generally just using Mobil 1 or Amsoil ATF should smooth out your shifts as much as possible. Lucas really isn't necessary with these 2 products and Amsoil will void the warranty on their ATF if you use the Lucas product.

Stay away. I saw a study where Lucas additives can cause foaming (well, atleast in motor oil).

FormerAccordMan,

Take a look at using some auto rx in your transmission before you go with Amsoil or Mobil 1 ATF. This is a non solvent based product that will clean up the transmission before doing a T Tech/BG Flush.
