my Indie said some internals might have dried out causin

My 1980 300SD with the used tranny installed a year ago slips between

Is Lucas Transmission Fix the stuff Curt recommends?
It feels strange squeezing (you can't pour it) something into an auto trans that
looks like STP with red dye and smells like 140w gear oil.
Aren't there things inside transmissions that don't react well to sulphur?

Rich,
Thanks, nice little bit of recent history.
