    Synthetic tranny fluid smooth out shifts-05 F150 ?

    *** By the way, what do these additives (such as Instant Shudder Fixx) actually do? Do they cause the tranny to slip more or less? A novice's thinking (such as mine) says that the additives would make the ATF more slippery, thus it would make the tranny slip more..??.. But that's just a guess...

    Synthetic tranny fluid smooth out shifts-05 F150 ?

    Well last night I syphoned about 3 quarts of ATF out of my tranny. I added 14 ounces of Lubegard ATF Protectant (the red), and filled it up with Mobil 1 synthetic ATF (Mercon V compatible)... I didn't notice a significant improvement over about 50 miles of city driving. So this afternoon I went...

    Well I don't tow all that often... But from what I can remember, I don't recall noticing a rough 1-2 shift when towing. Only when NOT towing... Were you able to cure your rough shifts?

    I already went to Napa and picked up 2 bottles of the red Lubegard ATF Protectant (the red stuff). I plan on adding it to my tranny this evening. 14 ounces of it (for a recommended ratio of 1 ounce per 1 quart of fluid. Worse case, it won't make it any worse, right?

    Synthetic tranny fluid smooth out shifts-05 F150 ?

    Yeah, I've recently checked my fluid, and it appears to be just slight above the full mark. So this would also be a good time to get the fluid down to the proper level.

    Synthetic tranny fluid smooth out shifts-05 F150 ?

    Regarding the dealer flush, they DID do a machine flush. However, the did NOT drop the pan or change the filter. The recommend changing the filter every-other fluid change... To get some fluid out prior to adding the Lubegard, it is ok to pump some out through the dipstick/filler tube?

    Synthetic tranny fluid smooth out shifts-05 F150 ?

    I just called Lubegard. They said that if I already have Mercon V in my tranny, then I need to go with the red stuff. They said the green stuff is for if I want to convert standard Mercon to Mercon V... But if I already have M-V, and I just want the benefits of Lubegard, then I need the red...

    Synthetic tranny fluid smooth out shifts-05 F150 ?

    I have a 2005 F150 with the 4R75W tranny. It has about 37,000 miles on it. I had the dealer flush the tranny at around 33,000 miles. Situation is that I get a shudder/rough shift on the 1-2 upshift. All other shifts (up & down) are very smooth. I've had the dealership check it out, and they...

    Amsoil - 25,000 mile OCI???

    So I'm considering going with Amsoils 0w20 (ASM). Both their website and the rep I spoke to said that is a 25,000 mile oil when used with their Ea filter. My question is, has anyone actually gone 25,000 miles on their oil?? I'm hoping that it will last 15,000-18,000 miles, which is 1 year of...
