I went through the same thing and ended up ordering a GE too! Life just got in the way after that and I didn't think anyone cared until recently. I've been sitting on a the follow-up video for way too long.

If you can, step up to 2016. They only made that version for 3 years but the 2016 and 2017 models are so much better. If you want the waterfall grill version 2018-2024, go with the 2022 or later. Believe me, I've done my homework and there is a comparison video of the 2015 vs 2017 Lincoln Navigator somewhere on this channel.

Just remember, if the shudder goes away, Lubegard says to change the AT fluid and filter afterward.

@@j2review Thank you ,AGAIN !!!!!!!

You're welcome. I appreciate your words! A lot has happened over the past 4 years. If you have time, please check out my most recent post.

I'm sorry to hear this! I've been working on a follow-up video to post about my decision to replace this refrigerator and our other Samsung products.

I agree that every 50,000 miles is the sweet spot to change the fluid & filter. I typically take most of my vehicles just over 300,000 miles before I decide to unload them. Before discovering the magic of changing the fluid & filter, I would typically flush the transmission every 60,000 miles. I only had one transmission fail in a 2008 Lincoln Town Car. One day, it just quit on me without warning.

The point is to see how long the transmission will last with the routine maintenance it should've received earlier in the first place. Currently, the shudder is gone.

@@j2review with the problem you mention that transmission is on it's last leg. all you are doing is prolonging what's about to happen, and destroying the transmission case, and all the internals. all the money you have already spent, and about to spend on it you could rebuild it.

I appreciate your insight and I understand that. When I attempted to change the fluid and filter at 60,000 miles, every dealership I went to flat out refused. Since discovering there was a problem, I was unable to find a dealership that would touch it. All of this is in the other videos. Unfortunately, I can't actually afford to rebuild it or replace it right now. I've been setting aside money, so that I won't have to lean on a credit card to repair or replace it when the time comes.

No, but I think it was 3/4 full.

when you plug it in to charge, as red ligh comes on. The red light goes out when the charge is complete.

@@j2review thank you

@@truth-1111 You're welcome. I still have the speaker (4 Years now) and I love it. I've only charged it 4 or 5 times total that I can remember but I go weeks, sometimes months without using it.

You're welcome. I hope you get everything sorted out.

For years, I and many others have been told that changing the fluid would make matters worse if you had any kind of issues. I'm glad I didn't continue to follow that advice. I've changed the fluid a couple of times already and documented my progress on this channel.

I'm in the limousine industry and have been for almost 20 years.

You're welcome! Appreciate your words!

You're welcome. Please let us know how it goes...

I hope this method works for you longer than it did for us. I kept doing that trick but we finally decided to replace the refrigerator. Unfortunately, we had to replace our Samsung TV with an LG. Once we replace the microwave, the range and the dishwasher, we will be Samsung free.

Thank you! The Genesis is a great car! I almost bought an Eqqus a decade ago and then rented a 2013 Genesis for a month and really fell in love with it. Anyway, those cars are workhorses. I’m shocked that there is any shudder at all after doing everything that you’ve done, but I must remind you that I had to flush the Instant Shudder Fixx and LG Platinum out of my transmission before seeing the progress I’m seeing today. The Lubegard (LG) products are great but eventually, you have to move on and only use what the manufacturer intended you to use in that transmission, which is Mercon LV (Low Viscosity). Please keep me posted. That Genesis should give you another 125k without a struggle, I hope.

Ah... Got it. So grateful for your response. I think I forgot to say hat I went with Valvoline maxlife, which meets the required specs. But I hear you.. I need to eventually return to quality correct spec fluid alone. By the way, I've had Genesis I since about 50k mi. It's an 09 so the first year.. what a value it has been! Grateful for your time and knowledge.

You're welcome! I wish you all the best! 🙏 I realize nothing lasts forever but the lesson I've learned from this Navigator is to find a way to change that fluid every 40,000 miles. Please keep me posted and stay safe on the road!

@@j2review Alright my guy here's the update: I went to my mechanic and asked for my transmission fluid to be drained and filled. I figured that would be fast and easy for them and easy on my wallet. I could have done the work myself but I like supporting my local small town mechanic, he also happens to be a family member I trust and respect. My car ended up taking a lot longer at the mechanic than I thought it would, like 4 or 5 hours instead of 1 or 2 like I thought. When they called me to get my car back they said the fluid was soooo bad they went ahead and dropped the pan and replaced the filter, refilled it, drove it around, then drained and filled the fluid AGAIN to try and clean the old stuff out. When I drove my car away I could instantly feel the physical difference. The transmission felt tighter, and most importantly my torque converter shudder is almost totally gone. I can still feel it wanting to do it around 35-40, but it's not doing it so far. It's still a 400K+ mile transmission lol I don't expect it to be like-new but man, it really really helped. Now here's the fun bit where it gets a lil complicated - The day after the repair I drove my car for work delivering all day. Car did fantastic. No problems to speak of. Then on my way home less than a mile from my house, CEL came on. Car was acting fine but the CEL decided to come on. So I drove home and ran the code, and it was a general ECU/PCM code. Great, an electrical gremlin. I look up potential causes and fixes and google gives me the range of answers from "it could be fine, or it could be totally catastrophic. Sometimes caused by new parts" so I figured okay, my ECU/PCM is just confused by the new fluid. Disconnected the battery to reset the ECU/PCM, reconnected it, and I've been driving around with zero issues since. To summarize what the ECU/PCM problem was: my transmission had built a data set on how it behaved with the old fluid in it, and when new fluid was introduced it had no way of knowing that, all it detected was a drastic change from how it had been normally operating, so it threw a code as a precaution to say "Hey, this ain't normal" - so all I had to do was tell the computer "This is what normal fluid is like" by resetting it and now it seems to be happier lol. Sorry for my tl;dr youtube book comment lol but I'm sharing because I think it may help other people if they change their fluid and experience similar issues! Changing the fluid physically helped my transmission but it also electronically confused it, I had to take extra steps to make sure my transmission is as happy as I can make it lol I hope this helps someone! Thankfully it's as easy as turning it off and back on again! :P Disconnecting my battery also messed with my power windows a lil bit, had to reset those, that was annoying but it was part of the deal with my car so expect similar stuff if you disconnect your battery you may have to reset some other electronic things too.

Your story has made my day!!! Yes, the ECU/PCM is also a culprit when dealing with Lincoln Navigator. I always tell people that being a mechanic is more like being an IT these days. Glad everything is working out for you! Keep rolling…

I totally agree.

Their engines are amazing. The MZ-FE, GR-FE, JZ, S-i/Fi/Fc , FZ, etc. All these engines are *PHENOMENAL*. I have rebuilt a lot of these engines. Not because they needed it. But because the customer loved their Toyota and wanted it renewed. ❤️

Awesome!!! Show all of us how it's supposed to be done....oh, wait 😂

still driving it but I stopped using instant shudder fixx. I'm about to cross 231,000 miles after 2 fluid & filter changes in the same transmission.

My 2015 Navigator is currently around 230,470 miles. I'm confident I can get 250,000 miles out of it, but this summer is really tough. The fans are constantly running, despite the engine coolant level being where it should. I'm working on a new update video, which should be out by the end of the week. Thank you!

Thank you for the kind words!

You're welcome. Appreciate you watching!

My first iPad had the cell data and I loved it but at the time (2010), it could not use your phone's hotspot. Once they dropped that restriction, I just tethered through the phone and dropped the data plan. I haven't worried about it since. I also had a 3rd party iPad keyboard case that worked ok, but this new magic keyboard has me hooked! Thank you for your service!

@@j2review Thank you, for replying to my post. My current basic iPad 9th generation is my third iPad and, each model has been with max storage and the cell data option. I know that, most people use their cell telephone a lot and many also have unlimited data plans. However, I am just the opposite. So, my primary mobile device is my basic iPad and, it has an unlimited data plan for $21 per month (smile...smile).

You're welcome! I made an error in my video. I actually had the iPad 250MB (yes, Megabyte!) data plan from April 2010 to December 2012 for $30 per month. Not a good deal but I did like the convenience at the time. Now, with this iPad Pro, the connection to my iPhone is so seamless, I never desire having dedicated data. However, it's great that you're only paying $21 per month! I would probably go for that!

Thank you for your words and sharing your experience! The display is still what I love most about 11-inch Pro M4 but there is so much more for me to discover with its potential.

Glad you find me to be funny 😜 I generally refer to baseball rules (3 strikes, you're out!) when it comes to most products, except for cars because they are much harder to get rid of. I've repaired this machine 3 times but this 4th malfunction appears to be the last because it's beyond minor repair. I've been through a lot, kid. I've repaired and rebuilt countless things. You want to talk about cars?? Most things should be built to last, including this elliptical machine. Schwinn can do better than this. Last but not least, you get what you pay for and I'm well aware that in most cases, I shouldn't complain about an elliptical that was given to me for free. However, if I paid $800 to $1,000 for this machine, I wouldn't be happy.

@@j2review What you are referring in your video are moving parts, that require maintenance, lubrication for one thing and re-tightening of hardware every so often. If you don't keep up with these two important factors on equipment like you are complaining about, that's is what is going to happen.

Now, you're the one who is funny. The machine was checked and lubricated multiple times. Do you have an elliptical machine?

@@j2review Yes, I do. In fact, it's the same brand and model you are complaining about. I bought it for 80 dollars from someone who decided that working out was too much work. I've had it for 4 years now and use it all the time. I do maintenance periodically, and it's been great; otherwise, I won't be taking my time to write. What brand would you recommend that doesn't break down? I'm just curious.

Cool! It's great to hear that you not only have the Schwinn E 430 but that you're a consistent elliptical user. I discovered the elliptical machine back in my apartment gym, back in 1999. At the time, I was an avid runner, but I clearly realized why the elliptical was so much better for me. My only problem is that I haven't been as consistent as you until recently. Once again, I did get mine for free from my neighbor who wasn't into it, so I know I shouldn't complain. At the end of the day, it's a first-world problem. I have a gym membership, so I just use the Precor or Matrix ones they have. I think the best affordable brand for home would be ProForm. I had ProForm treadmill that was super reliable for 12 years. I ended up donating it to a gym.

mainly the first time. after that it was around 10,000 miles. then, I decided to change the fluid & filter but did not add any more Instant Shudder Fixx. I have now driven 40,000 miles WITHOUT Instant Shudder Fixx. I've posted more videos showing my progress and I have a new one coming soon...

Being someone who started on Windows 95, I can say dealing with Apple's proprietary system isn't such a bad thing. Don't get me wrong, I went from despising Windows to finally accepting it again, simply for the fact that I can build my own PC the way I want it. This is a wonderful thing. However, Apple has created an ecosystem unlike any other company. They deliver sleek products with very solid operating systems but used to be almost "perfectly solid" when Steve Jobs was alive. Sony is another proprietary company that most people don't complain about because they use Windows OS on their computers but the Playstation is as proprietary as it gets.

Yea you tell him!!! 🗣️

that's funny.

yep, very funny.

That's right, hence my correction in the video.

@@j2review I do mixups all the time in my videos even after 20 takes and editing. they still find there way into the video. Rrrrrr! 🤣

Thanks!

11-inch Pro 256GB and I got the keyboard case.
