According to an expert Automatic Transmission specialist we spoke to, this product introduces a high dose of friction modifier into the transmission. Accordingly, he says he has heard that it can cure start clutch shudder in CVTs - but NOT permanantly. In cases he's aware of, the shudder returns within a couple of thousand kms at the outside.
I guess like all "miracle cures", it's a patch-up job and the unsuspecting buyer of a car where products such as this are used can end up owning an expensive problem.
