Back-free switching with full synth. ATF

Hello.

In 2003 the automatic switching processes became increasingly noticeable and began to annoy me. Especially when it comes to reverse gear. At the time, I had asked several Audi workshops (workshop managers) about the reasons and more often heard that the first measure was to change the ATF oil (without changing the filter).

I had then decided against the Audi ATF and for the Liqui Moly ATF II E Synth, because fully synth. Oils compared to mineral. Oils have a higher cleaning effect, as dirt particles with electrostatic forces are released from their adhesive ground.

In March 2003, three liters of the probably 11-year-old Audi ATF were drained down the gearbox and three liters of full-synth. ATF filled through the measuring rod tube. In November 2004, 3 litres were also exchanged. At that time, I drove the Audi on a very little busy and wide road often quickly in the backwatering gear several hundred meters each, so that all gear parts and hydraulic control elements were well equipped with the new synth. Oil came into contact and were cleaned.

The switching processes gradually became smoother and now after 4 years only perceptible if you pay close attention to them, e.g. with simultaneous observation of the tachometer and/or engine noise. The shift truck when inserting the reverse gear is more or less noticeable, so not constantly in terms of strength. It may be temperature-dependent, but I don't have any opinion at the moment.

If someone here in the forum is also on vollsynth. ATF changes, I'd be interested in the result. Furthermore, I don't know if Audi ATF would have made the shift trucks just as weaker. Has anyone with Audi ATF switch also received satisfactory results?
