Smile Shutter, lurching, surging

Took my 2001 Mercury Sable to the local shop and let him drive it. My car would sometimes drive ok but on occassion would surge or shutter. I would watch the RPMs change and it looked like the transmission may be trying to shift in and out of overdrive or even an ignition or fuel problem. I did the cheaper stuff first. Replaced fuel filter - No change. Replaced Spark Plugs - No change. Replaced Plug Wires - No change. My mechanic road tested it and he thought it was the Torque Converter. I asked how much it would cost and he said maybe $6.00. When we got back at the shop he brought a tube of Dr. Tranny Instant Shudder Fixx and put it in the transmission stick tube. Within 1 mile of driving the shutter was gone.
