How is everyones new fluid flush for the shudder holding up?

Mgsouthwest2001 · 05-31-2019, 05:26 PM

On the shudder thread someone posted that He has a friend that works at a dealership and they said the new fluid is not fixing the shudder and some vehicles are now coming back. I thought it would be good to start a new thread to track how well those of us who have had the new fluid flush are doing with our cars. Please post only if you have had the latest fluid flush done for the A8 shudder issue. Let us know if the shudder is still fixed or has come back. Thanks

I had the shudder and had the new fluid flush done about 1500 miles ago. The shudder has not returned. I use a range and the car has not seen 4 cyl mode since the day the flush was done.

I had it done along with the new torque converter, and so far so good. It's been about 2000 miles at this point

I'm about 1,600 miles into it and no issues.

Four hundred miles so far and all is well. Still shifts better than when brand new.

A few hundred miles so far and all is well.

About 1200 miles so far and using my Range every time to keep AFM out of the picture, so far so good. Took it up to the mountains in Memorial Day, drove great!

Had it done about 300 hundred miles ago. So far, no issues. I also have been using the Range so it does not go in 4 cylinder mode.

First got the "shudders" at 10k miles. Had the original 3x flush done, which lasted roughly 20k (to about 30k on the odometer). Shudder came back. Had torque converter replaced and another 3x flush (no idea if newest version of fluid or not). I'm now close to 43k with no issues!

Hope this helps...

You don't need this. All you need to do is manually downshift 1 time after starting the vehicle and it will not go into v4 mode (even if you switch back to D) until you park, shutoff or put the car into reverse. If you do one of those 3 things, just manually downshift 1 time again and continue on. No v4 mode.
