Default 4L60E, Changing fluid help

Well to make a long story short my 4L60E started doing what 4L60Es do(****ing suck). The 2-3 shift was always horrible(even with HPTuners adjustments) but now 2nd gear slips even under light/regular loads. Figured it's probably a good time to change the fluid and maybe throw some Lucas or some other stop-slip type liquid in there.

Just wondering what combination of products do you suggest that will hopefully keep the damn thing together until I get that Performabuilt Lvl 2 I've been looking at. Oh and are there any writeups on on changing the fluid? That damn rear mounted trans confuses me just thinking about it

Thanks for all the help I'm sure if I made the 8th billion thread asking about the column lock or oil pressure sender I would have 10 pages of responses by now.

I guess no one wants to give you the bad news - your trani is shot. That's it. call RPM transmissions.

There's no "magic in a can" to fix that.
