If you'd be so kind and share data about Lubegard Platinum, and what's in it, that would be great. Thank you!
Thank you for the information. That Lubegard Platinum ATF Protectant is some good stuff, isn't it? I'm still amazed of how well it works.You said, "My personal opinion is that Lubegard Platinum is a concentrated version of their ATF." It is not a concentrated version of any ATF.
It is a mixture of the following
A Group III carrier oil, an anti-oxidant, LXE ester (2-octyldodecylester), a TMP ester, a multi-functional metal inhibitor, and friction modifiers.

MolaKule said:Platinum is a highly friction modified additive and as SubieRubyRoo stated it was used in the past as a "conversion" fluid when there were only a few major ATF choices. I strongly urge against its usage.
I don't think LubeGard Platinum or any conversion fluid is any longer needed since the new ATF formulations have negated the need for these "conversion" fluids.Thank you for the information. That Lubegard Platinum ATF Protectant is some good stuff, isn't it? I'm still amazed of how well it works.
It was steep. $3500. The mechanic said that the TC needed to be replaced and the transmission needed to be overhauled. When I picked it up, he said that the transmission “wasn’t too bad.” My guess is that the transmission was fine but the TC was going out and he knew it but wanted to add on the transmission for extra money. I’m not expert but that’s just what I think as the shifts don’t feel any different and he said that it wasn’t that bad. Live and learn I guess.So the fix sounds like it was as simple as an airfilter swap? I'd like to know what the cost was?
