Auto Owners-Extend life of your gearbox!

Post by catgroom » Sun Aug 22, 2004 8:54 pm

Hi All!

Another member of this splendid forum has recently advised me on how to keep the 400 series Auto box running sweeter and for longer!

For any that aren't aware of this product,Lubegard is the name.

Basically,it keeps your transmission cooler,great in cities/British roads etc (!) and when added in with the ATF on a fluid change,makes changes smoother.

Its available from 3D Transmissions contactable through the InterWeb!!!

Cheers,

Steve. :hopping:

This stuff costs £14 a bottle.2 bottles is enough for 3 ATF changes so well worth the dough!
3D Transmissions do it AND will offer some discount if enough Auto owners want to get some in bulk?!

Post here Auto people (or rather,lack of them).I dont know,anyone would think Autos lose power or something ;) theres such a few on here!

the very best way to preserve the life of an auto is to remove the ghastly thing from the car and leave it it in a cellar somewhere.
