If you know for sure that the lifter is sticking, then the Trans fluid should help. If the problem is a noisy lifter, then nothing will work. You will have to replace the lifters.There is a difference between a sticky lifter and noisy lifter. It is not that hard to replace the lifters. If you do replace, use lots, and lots of moly lube on the lifters and put as much as you can on the cam lobes. You do not want the new lifters wearing out the cam lobes on restart. After breaking in new lifters, change the oil soon. I hate bad lifters. I had noisy lifters in my cars for years, but no more.
