Default Dr. Tranny Instant Shutter Fix

Has anyone used this?? Would it be useful?
I just tried the Lubegard Automatic Transmission Fluid Protectant today and was thinking if I should add that shutter fix just in case.

So can I just add it to the Lubegard protectant I already put in?

It is a friction modifier so you are also effecting the friction properties of the tranny clutchpacks.

Its helps a little. I'd try half a bottle at first. If your shudder is real bad, this won't cure it nor is it the proper fix.

Is the only way to raise the pressure w/ the hpp3? Because they don't make those for the 99 3.8Ls.

Would readjusting my stage 3 transgo or putting back my stock servo instead of the vette servo help it out?

A properly installed kit is just fine. However a shift kit is designed to increase fluid flow at stock pressure. If you increase the flow and electronically dial in more pressure you give the tranny a double whammy. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

I have been having shudder problems since I installed a new tranny with Trans-Go. I tried a bottle of the Shudder Fix and it seemed to help, but only for a day or two. The problem still exists.

Does raising the line pressure with an HPP3 help at all? I am not really worried about killing the tranny, as I can get another under warranty no problem.
