    Alright. I have an 05 PreRunner with 123k, and my transmission has slipping issues. What should I do? Transmission fluid or Lucas additive?

    if the tranny is already slipping I don't think adding anything will help sounds like you need to get a new tranny IMO. good luck Bro

    Changing the fluid might only make it worse. A lot of the debris floating in there might be what is stopping the clutch packs from completely going out. However, if its already on its way out might as well try whatever you can but you will be most likely looking for a new tranny soon.

    How do you check fluid level without a dipstick?

    It's a pre runner. No dipstick.
