Hope it was transmission oil magic and not gearoil magic. Or it may change your box magically into a pile of scrap.

Not heard of it and 125ml doesn't seem a lot, I put a whole bottle of Lucas in mine, about 750ml if I remember correctly.

I found Lucas using Google, didn't find that stuff. I then researched on US sites to see how effective the stuff was before I bought it

Could be torque convertor lock up occuring briefly in third before the shift to top. The ECU does allow lock up in third gear.
