Yes, works around a design flaw with the valve body in the boxes. No longer need to use Type 4 once you get a shift kit though since the valve body has the flaw engineered out of it. Dex 3 is fine with a shift kit.

1995 TT has DEX-II imprinted onto the auto dipstick, so even the factory doesn't recommend T-IV for the TT in that model year.

Just to confirm, it is OK (even recommended??) to use Toyota Type IV ATF in auto TT's?

Would the year the car was manufactured matter?

You can use it, but there really isn't a point in spending 3x the price to get T-IV over DX3.

Depends, I used DEX III in my TT.

Auto had a shudder at approximately 2/3 throttle at certain RPM's.

It was strange and only a small area I flushed with type IV and no more shudder.
