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.
Is this the good one? http://www.amazon.com/Lubegard-60902-Aut...376&sr=1-17

Thats what I used.

is one of two MSDS sheets that don't reveal if Moly is used or not in their product. Another one is similar MSDS sheet dated 1993 for their M-V transmission oil. I am not doubting it helps. I am just saying isn't it the same as Moly or that's their primary ingredient.
Wilheim D unless you have done a chemical breakdown of the fluid by sending to the lab. If you did please share otherwise, unless you work for Lubeguard. What gives you the conclusion it doesn't have Moly in LG Red?

Their patents describe esterized vegetable oils and other non-metallic friction modifiers. They specifically state on their website:
"LUBEGARD provides a concentrated package that fulfills these deficiencies (without adding ZDDP, Chlorine, inappropriate sludge building additives like PTFE or solid lubricants such as Teflon, graphite or molybdenum disulphide.)"

Any particle in oil can help form sludge.
The contaminants and breakdown byproducts of motor oil adhere to microscopic particles of any solid, and then these accrete to form sludge.

Just depends on what you call sludge. If it's big piles of gooey crud all over everything the answer is YES!
I`ll never forget when my 84 Gran Prix`s transmission (stupid turbo 200) started slipping. Dropped the pan and there was a mound of clutch material,and other junk. Horrible sight!
YES! You don't want it to all puddle somewhere, I also recommend you immediately drive it for at least 20 minutes.
