This number, which is double the current standard, is for gasoline engines only, but there is a similar push for diesel engines as well. However, it is no miracle fluid, don't expect that it will repair ruined synchros or make that chipped up 3rd gear work smoothly again. Sand also modifies friction, but it doesn't make oil slipperier. The entire fill process took less than 10 minutes this way. This is a spot on review.
Hopefully the new coil pack fixes it. What is the status of the torque converter? The soluble chains line up beside each other much like fibers in a carpet. It has always been very smooth even with 96xxx miles on it. It really feels like something is slipping and catching and when a little power is applied, everything locks up the way it should. Conversely, in an automatic transmission, one fluid is used to provide lubrication, hydraulic power transfer and many other functions.
Thought I felt a few misses, but nothing like what it was doing before. What is the status of the torque converter? If the oil you are using has modifier in it, it won't hurt to put the 4oz bottle in. If the threads in the head strip out common problem with Fords , get Timeserts. The fluid change dramatically improved the shudder problem but it is still there. The Royal Purple Synchromax was, not to be cheesy, the light at the end of the tunnel. The stock programming also unlocks the converter when you tip in your throttle, which is why the shudder goes away when you stab the throttle. I've read that this is a known issue for 4R70W transmissions and torque converters and Internet solutions abound——complete fluid flush and filter change it was done around 20,000 miles ago so it's a little early for a change , add a Ford friction modifier although I'm familiar with these for differentials not transmissions , switch the Mercon V transmission fluid, replace the torque converter, have the transmission rebuilt, or live with it.
These layers shear easily and create a relatively slippery surface. Check your year and model for specfication on filling level and fluid requirements. Just picked the truck up from the shop and took it for a drive down the freeway. You may notice a faint noise from the differential for a few days until the new fluid and additive impregnate the clutch pads and it will go away nothing to worry about. Yes , the Ford parts dept never heard of a 'Ford transmission additive',the closest thing they had was a differential friction modifier.
It is cheaper to change fluid than to have to buy a syncronizer and pay someone to replace it. Due to factors beyond the control of Cars Simplified, no information contained in this video shall create any express or implied warranty or guarantee of any particular result. If so address those immediately. The purpose of a lubricant is to reduce the amount of friction between two surfaces. Under no situation does it increase friction in a fluid. The trouble is I can't find these two additives anywhere. I had many Ford trucks in my shop that misfire under load and boy did it shake the drive train.
Transmission hydraulic pressure readings, don't know how to get a reading. As fuel economy standards become more stringent, more will be required of engine oils. The price points, parts selections for all years, always free shipping, customer secrvice and techinical service is honestly second to none on the web. I think that maybe it will break in a bit with the new fluid and get better as time goes on. Manual locking differentials usually use an electric motor or vacuum diaphragm to engage the locker, reducing this noise.
If your transmission is notchy, rough, or loud but is mechanically fine, a fresh fill of Synchromax® can help smooth things back out. Sometimes a complete fluid change including the torque converter will greatly reduce or eliminate the shudder. I was having problems getting into the outsides and downs 2nd and reverse. Depending on what the application calls for and how it is engineered, they can do either. I recall it was done so old geezers don't complain about harsh driveability.
I went back and looked through the previous owner's maintenance records on this truck. I drove 55 miles and the shutter remains. The friction modifiers used in these applications are not intended to increase or decrease friction but to act differently under specific shear conditions. Feel free to give our customer service department a call if you have any additional questions! Those coil boots were most of the root cause for coil failure, as they would crack or develop a hole and send the spark to ground in the spark plug hole. Organic friction modifiers have long, soluble chains and a polar head. So as Alex said, it does just that; modifies friction. At 165,000, coil pack and plug on 8.
I don't know if it's a placebo effect or not but I kind of sense the car seems to shift a little better. At 101,000, coil pack and plug on 5. One mechanic thinks changing the torque-converter would solve this issue. . The Torque shift or 5R110 came along a few years later. Modification may be either an increase or a decrease, and it may not even be the same under varying conditions.
Michael N Merchandising I have always been around Mustangs in my professional life, either fixing them as a mechanic, selling them at dealerships, or modding them here at AmericanMuscle. I'm finding conflicting information on the internet. Synchromax® is recommended for manual transmissions that specify an automatic transmission fluid or motor oil. Because the clutch plates are constantly loaded with heavy springs, in theory they should always remain in stage 3 of lockup. Any vibration in any other gear? Changed many of them along with Torque converters and Pumps. It sounds to me like torque converter shudder.
