I tried Lubegard 60902 for a sluggish shifting transmission on a 2005 Santa Fe. It has 255906 miles. Thought I was going to have to replace it. Bought it from my Buddhist Temple in 2008 when it only had 500 miles. All the sensors were changed a year ago thinking that would solve to problem but didn’t. I put the Lubegard in and noticed that after around 50 miles it seemed to shift closer to where it was meant to. Now after 150 miles it is back to normal and the gas mileage has increased dramatically. Thanks Scotty, for another right on tip.

4L60E got water fouled in a storm. 2+ quarts of water entered the transmission. I dropped pan, replaced filter and fluid (a few times) put it back on road and worked fine except TCC shudder, added the smaller 2 oz red packet of lubegard shudder fixx and it drove like a champ for like 4-5 more years until I lost reverse gear. Really happy with the results.

LOL I love your sound effects. Your videos are great thanks for all you do!!!

[@greggc8088]

Before LubeGuard shift shudder additive, we used Ford limited slip diff friction modifier XL-3. I still do in my own vehicles. Works like a charm when having the light throttle rumble strips at 40-60 MPH from TCC engagement. Best way to test if that is the cause-Lightly tap your brake pedal enough to trip the brake switch and if the shudder goes away that's what it is.

Additional method(s) for removing corroded/electrolosized wheels. . .loosen all Lug Nuts on the problem wheel, hand-tighten snug and back-off a thread. Drive into a curb hitting that tire/wheel, slowly. Or, drive around slowly and apply the brakes, hard. Check occasionally. Applying the brakes with loosened lug nuts will unfreeze the wheel. It's like being sucker-punched in the jaw. That's my trick especially with old high-end german cars (and occasionally toyotas). .. which were free to me. The last time I used the mule-kick method. I blew out both wheel bearings.

Prob needs a transmission fluid drain and fill new fluid (it’s worn out and overheating) Don’t do a flush And while your doing that Get gear oil and change the differential oil in the Front and rear. But check if you have a CVT transmission or a regular gear transmission and get the fluid for that type of trans.

210k on the clock... When was the last time you dropped the pan, filter & put some fresh ATF +4 in it ?

For good measure put a new EPC, electronic pressure regulator solenoid & transducer in the valve body while you have it all apart. Rear Diff & transfer case could use some love too.

GM made a ton of money from the Chevy Cruze because as an inexpensive vehicle it has been very popular with NASCAR and with single people on Social Security. But they quit making it anyway because of the short term economy recovering. Now that the price of gas is nearly double what it was when they did this, it is nearly impossible to find another vehicle that gets close to 50 miles per gallon on the interstates.

Scotty is right. Dealers are rip off artists. I took my 2011 Ford Fusion to the dealer for "free" state inspection. They failed my car and wanted $2500 to replace the rear lower control arm bushings. I said no. Took it to an independent garage that found nothing wrong. They re-inspected and passed with no issues. Only go the dealer for warranty work and nothing else. I learned my lesson.

[@bsams3827]

Is ok to use the additive in a trans that is functioning as designed? Will it prevent problems?

[@michaelvargas8656]

im trynna know

[@HR-wd6cw]

For $20 it's worth a shot I guess. Worst case is it does nothing and you are looking at a trans rebuild or just a new transmission. That's the way I look at some of these additives. Even if it got you another 6 months or a year with the vehicle, that would be worth it IMO for $20. That being said, that was nearly the last generation of Jeep that was worth buying. The modern Jeeps are nothing like those, and those Jeeps (like the ones shown) could easily do 150-200k without major issues if you just took care of them. I do wonder though if say you put this into a car that has 100-150k miles, but otherwise is not showing any issues, can it help prevent any issues moving forward, like can it help an already-good transmission or is that ill-advised? (ie. leave it alone if nothing is wrong). I know some people swear by these types of products as a means of preventative maintenance, and some even go to the extent of putting some of these additives in about 1,000 miles before they plan to change the trans fluid for example, for extra protection (Same for some oil additivites and cleaners).
