Does this hurt the transmission at all?

It depends on a few factors.. I don't recommend it if transmission is old and has a lot of moles on it I would not recommend it and yes I've heard of transmissions going bad in first generation power strokes going bad after that particular programmer was installed . I've also seem it work fine as well just depends on transmissions condition... I do not recommend this programmeror any on this vehicle as it is old and really can't take a programmer thanks

Anytime you increase horsepower in an engine you stand to abuse the tranny, rear-end, and tires along with everything else in the suspension. It really depends on your personal driving habits. If it's a Ford 7.3 you're driving, I saw a terrific increase in power with my 96 F350 with the 100 HP kick. A WHOLE LOT OF FUN. Would have liked to have seen better mileage but only have a single 4 inch exhaust out. My drive habits did not see an increase in mileage if not lost some. A friend of mine drives a 2001 or 2 Ford Exabition with this programmer and has increased his mileage 20-25%.

Honestly, I would take it to a shop. It sounds like your transmission is fried. I bought this part because it was damaged and would not go into 4wd. All the internals were chewed up. If yours won't go into 3rd or 4th gear, sounds like the trans. I had a similar issue a few years ago and the shop changed all the fluid in the transmission, this stopped the shifting problems but wouldn't effect the 4wd. That part isn't easy to replace unless you know how to remove the front right cv axel without breaking it. I had a little help. Go to www.trailvoy.com They have fantastic tutorials on a lot of repairs, it's a forum, so you'll have to register.

This should help with the shutter, although you may want to change out the existing fluid if you have not done so already. It may help with RPMs, however with modern transmissions they are all computer controlled, and merging while accelerating will drop a gear for more power at higher rpm.

Sure it's not one of your universals joints clonking. Anyway it helps with shifting and converter shudder. Good stuff alot of benefits. Google it Lubegard red go to there website read up. It won't make it worse and it may just do the trick. www.lubegard.com/C-110/Transmission

yes for an automatic, change oil first as this will greatlly extend the life of the fluid and hence the transmission, drops the operating temperature quite a bit

I love my, I got it last week and it makes such a difference !!! I am running on the 1st setting and it is amazing how it performs !!! It is smoother and shifts great !!! I can see that if you run the other settings it might hurt the transmission but on this setting it is no problem !!!

No. Fixing the leak is one of the things it will do. It's a very good oil treatment you can just add to your newly changed engine oil. It's most useful for preventing engine wear. It should also help quiet down the engine if the noise is not caused by some major malfunction of parts. Some like to use it on older cars. In my case of transmission leak couple years ago, I used another product from Bar's which truly fixed the leaking issue and saved me a lot of repair money.

actually it activated check engine light and caused the trans to almost slip between gears, erratic air flow creates all kinds of ecm and tcm issues, it sounds like yours may be dirty, anyways installing the new Delphi mafs sensor solved all the issues

Yes I tried this on a 2C Diesel Corolla's Transmission, My friend owns that car now and it has done over 300,000kms and transmission is still living good. I had Certatec when it was 120,000 and I noticed that it shifts softer and smoother. (Regular oil changes are also done). In addition to that I tried this my Unimog's hubs as safety to minimize damage incase of oil leak. Best results are observed in Diesel Engines!

I still use it regardless of the Programmer to protect my overdrive in my transmission with the shifting during inclines. I just returned from delivering a Jeep to my house and place my F350 out of overdrive and re-programmed my Edge and the pull was great...Going up long inclines the transmission never down shifted and actually the motor accelerated during the up hill travel with the extra load. I hope this helps.

From my experience, I would say no. That antenna will cause the output drivers to overload because it will take more power to drive them. This will cause transmission errors.

HI, I used mobile 1 automatic transmission fluid, on my jag with the ZF 6 speed auto trans. It cured the harsh downshift problem and she shifts like new again.

Yes gear oil is thicker than transmission fluid it will have no problem....Thanks,Sol y Costa Cargo International, Corp

"If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it" ... Nowhere in the automotive world does this phrase apply more than it does in pertaining to automatic transmission additives. If you're transmission is wearing out/slipping, then you have nothing to lose, but if it's working good, leave it alone. The only maintenance you should ever do is change the fluid and filter with the exact type recommended by the manufacturer. I've seen additives greatly improve a transmission, and just as often, I've seen them cause all kinds of problems.

it's not for the transmission is the weight of the keys, where you enter it, it can cause damage on the car key. because is too heavy , you can use it for another keys.

NO .. it will not hurt the CD player. The only problem I found was that after a while of driving it starts to work loose and you have to tighten up a little.

My 04 avalanche had 60000 on the rebuild but got a little sluggish but completely functional...I put this stuff in...100 miles later my transmission was slipping so bad had to do a complete rebuild..
