- 2002 Mountaineer
I have a 2002 Mountaineer with the dreaded shudder while shifting from 3rd to 4th. Couple of questions: It seems like it got very noticable after I had new tires put on although they were the same size as stock (245 70 16). I am thinking of trying synthetic tranny fluid since some of the posts say that will help smooth it out and help with gas milage (around 10mpg! in town). Ammco says it has an additive that will do the same thing with a flush for much less, $200 vs $500 for the synthetic. Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated. Also, I have read that the shudder can be corrected by a computer re-program. Is that true? Thanks, Lolar.
