where did you order this please?

Here mate, these guys are power sellers and very friendly to deal with.


Look at this on eBay:

Dr Tranny Lube Automatic Transmission Instant Shudder Fixx

thanks, but was hoping to find some in Australia

I'll check with my mechanic if they would sell it on. 3 tubes max per sale.

No probs, i am so used to ordering bits from the uk it doesnt bother me. Sometimes they are here quicker than aussie stock and at 1/3 of the price.

Aussie stock would've been handy ..

Still have 2 tubes I'm happy to sell pm if still required

Bursons- Moorabbin - I put this in my L322 to prevent the shudder - worked great , unfortunately 3 months later its back, and I'm looking down the barrel of TC replacement. Any referrals as to wo to use and how much$.. Cheers

The boys in Dandenong who do MLRs work ...A&M I think ..did mine $6000 ...2 years warranty .... Piece of mind for another 200 thousand kms

I was told by the agent and ZF i require a new torque converter, and there are nothing they can do further.

Well at 108 000km I walked away from my agent,googled the problem and did according to what I have found out as a last resort.
I then drained the oil, flushed it 3 x times with Fuch ATF 4400 added 2 x tubes of Dr Tranny , and voila!. Smooth as new.

I have now done as of today 40 000 km with Dr Tranny and the Fuchs oil.

I tow an off road trailer here in Africa , and uses the vehicle to launch a boat on the beach regularly.

For the last 40 000km have not experienced any shudder and the Fuchs oil has kept my gearbox smooth as it was new.

Dr Tranny worked for me as well as Fuchs ATF , if it lasted for 40 000km with no issues it will last another 100 000km at least , this mileage is over 60% of towing and touring.

I resolved my annoying shudder at a fraction of the cost quoted by agents.


Ps, apparently the shudder is caused by a glaze forming on the clutches inside the torque converter from extreme working conditions, Dr Tranny has got ethers that removes this glaze.

Dr Tranny also works in the Transfer case , if you have a knock turning right going uphill , it's from the transfer box add 1 x tube of Dr Tranny and it's gone.

Plenty of D3's in Africa has been fixed by adding 2 x tubes in gearboxes and 1 x tube in transfer box.

I don't understand though ...just get the problem fixed ..I couldn't go across the Simpson on the prayer of Dr Trannys snake oil

Why not try it - if it saves the gearbox why not?

Having said that I would not use it if I was heading off to the Simpson say within 6 weeks. I'd probably replace the gearbox in that case.

Otherwise if over that time you sure have plenty of time to see if it has infact fixed the issue.

Anyway the shudder if it re occured during the trip would not stop you from getting back home.
