Shudder fix

I found the cheapest Dr tranny's shudder fix from one stop gearbox shop I think it's Harlow £11:76 for two X2 ounce bottles. As loads of other people have already said stick it in through the upper pipe on the transmission cooler, easy peasy and it really does work. Hope I'm not breaking any advertising rules.

Rather than start a new thread I thought I'd ask here.

I followed this procedure to check my transmission fluid level this weekend, but with the engine running and the filler plug removed, fluid was pouring out. Not just a trickle, a flow for at least 15 seconds until I replaced the plug.

Does this simply mean that it's been overfilled at some point?

If the engine was cold, yes overfilled.

If you had been driving a lot, then could be normal


Was it flat or jacked up ?

Engine was cold and jacked up on the offside.

I don't suppose it being overfilled could lead to transmission judder? Or is that wishful thinking 🤔. It's booked in for a replacement transmission this month regardless.

Judder is normally torque converter

Overfill Unlikely to fix it, I would think
