Lubegard additive for AT to prolong life
A friend recently had a shuddering issue with his 2007 Expedition that has the same trans as my 2008 Itasca w/Ford V10.
I am very suspicious of the value of any additive but my online research shows very positive reviews for this, even many AT rebuilders and dealers swear by it.
My friend had his problem trans serviced and the rebuilder said Lubegard is the only additive he'd use and the tranny looked fine. It was added and the problem is gone.
I'm now thinking about adding it to my AT (55k miles, never serviced). Ever since new, it's taken a longtime shifting out of first when cold, and that has gotten worse.
Any members had positive or negative experiences with Lubegard Platinum?
It's supposed to help the trans run cooler, shift smoother, possibly help mileage, prevent shudder (jump tall buildings with a single bound?)
Thanks for any feedback
