Have 1999 Subaru with 170,000 miles that was not driven for about 2 years, ATF and never been changed. (I was not the owner at that time).
Trans. changing was very rough, (I wonder why). Changed ATF, some improvement was noticed, but not good enough. Added 10 oz Lubegard, (red), and noticed vast improvement in tranny.
Have 1996 Dodge 2500 pickup with 100,000 miles. Auto. trans. was serviced by Dodge dealer @ 30,000 miles and also by the same dealer at 95,000 miles. The trans. was shifting rough after the service, so I checked fluid level, dumb dealer overfilled by 1.5 qts. I removed the excess and added 20 oz. Lubegard, (red). After driving about 30 miles, the tranny is improving and I think it will get better with time.
I dont think much of auto additives, however, Lubegard is the exception.
Lubegard does work!

That stuff is great. It has saved many transmissions over the years. I use it all the time. It eliminated a delay I was experiencing going into Reverse when it was cold out.
Yes its great stuff! I use it in every transmission i work on.
I use Lubegard in my automatic transmissions as a precaution and not to resolve a problem. I went to a transmission seminar a few years ago and the instructor recommended using Lubegard as preventive maintenance. I know it does lower the temp of the transfluid in my 2010 Silverado as the truck has a trans temp gauge.
Every LubeGard Product I have used seems to work. I know their products are no snake-oil.

Glad it helped, but I still believe that top tier synthetic ATF does not need it.
Wheres the cheapest place to buy LG Red? Amazon? I need to buy some and it has been a while. Thanks.

Cheapest I've found is O'Reilly's if you have them where you are. NAPA does carry it but they are a bit higher.
I have Lubegard Red in all of our vehicles, some that had issues, the others as a preventative. It works!
