Lubegard has built a loyal following among transmission specialists and DIYers for products that actually work. Here's a guide to their most important products and real-world applications.
What Makes Lubegard Different
Lubegard products use LXE (Liquid Wax Ester) technology - a synthetic base with extreme lubricity that bonds to metal surfaces. Unlike most additives that simply dilute the existing fluid, Lubegard's LXE creates a protective boundary layer on transmission components that remains even when the fluid drains out.
Lubegard Automatic Transmission Fluid Protectant
The flagship product. Add to any ATF to reduce heat, friction, and wear. Particularly effective in transmissions that run hot (towing, city driving, hot climates) or are showing early signs of wear (shuddering, harsh shifting).
- Use: Add 10% of fluid capacity to existing ATF
- Compatible with: All ATF types including Dexron, Mercon, CVT fluid, and most import fluids
- Best results: Harsh shifting, transmission running hot, preventive maintenance on high-mileage vehicles
Lubegard Shudder Fixx (Converter Shudder)
Torque converter shudder is a common problem in many GM, Ford, and import vehicles - felt as a vibration or shudder at light throttle around 35-50 mph. Shudder Fixx eliminates this condition by conditioning the torque converter clutch friction surfaces.
- Success rate: Eliminates shudder in approximately 80% of cases without a fluid change
- Use: Add directly to existing ATF - drives out through normal operation
- Alternative to: Full transmission flush (often resolves the same issue at 10% of the cost)
Lubegard CVT Fluid Protectant
CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) are notoriously sensitive to fluid quality. Lubegard's CVT protectant extends fluid life, reduces belt/chain wear, and can resolve minor CVT shudder and hesitation issues.
Lubegard Power Steering Fluid Protectant
Conditions power steering seals, reduces pump noise, and protects against pump wear. Effective for solving common power steering problems: whining pump, stiff steering in cold weather, minor leaks at seals.
Lubegard Engine Oil Supplement
Add to engine oil at each oil change for reduced friction and wear. Particularly effective in high-mileage engines showing increased oil consumption or noisy valve trains.
