Transmission Shudder - fixed!!

[wfsdno]

Okay, not sure how people here like the 'miracle cure' stuff you see on store shelves but this one is apparently working.

Dr. Tranny Instant Torque Converter Shudder Eliminator -- purchased at O'Rielly's Auto Parts

I had the problem of when putting along at about 2k rpm in overdrive (60-65mph), every couple of minutes the transmission would shudder, like to converter was slipping - real bad slip.

Ford flushed the system twice a year ago, used MerconV, put in some of thier brand conditioner and it help a while but then got worse. I put in some of the Lucas Oils Transmission stuff and that help a tiny bit. I was ready to trade it off when the local guy showed me this stuff.

I figured for $7, what could it hurt. It is a small tube, about 2 oz. Drove to town, warmed up transmission, stopped and put it in. By the time I got on the highway, I thought I felt a little shake, but that was it! Has not shuddered anymore and feels much more easy shifting too!

I'm Happy! Has anyone else heard of this stuff? My luck this is acid that is melting my transmission as we speak, but it has been 3 days and as of today, I'm real happy. Or should I quickly sell it before it blows up??

Hope this helps, any feedback would be appreciated (kinda late...) but would be appreciated.

If anyone wants a picture of the package, let me know.

My guess is that there is a problem with the transmission that needed a more agressive additive to solve.
Will the problem get worse as time goes on?....I am not qualified to answer that question.
I WOULD stay with the recommended fluid change schedule......and you may find that you need to add this with each fluid change.
The Mercon V IS the correct fluid for the Windstar.
