transmission additives

snake oils are in no way recommended in any transmission, i just blew a piston out of a cylinder and cut my guys finger wide open from the force of the piston being lodged and then letting loose, the transmission had a slimey additive in which was the cause. the stop leaks are basically a brake fluid that swells rubber to twice its normal size. a transmission with additives in it typically are more expensive to rebuild because of the damage it causes. it is a band aid, and if you need to add an additive to stop a leak...pull the trans and repair the leak correctly

That deafening silence should answer your question.

actually the guy on my other shoulder thinks thier good

I once had a pile of *************** truck that had a rear differential that would make a terrible whine on the highway. This good old boy in town told me to put banana peels in it. It worked great! That thing quieted down and worked for another 20,000 miles.

oil would've done the same lol

I'm old enough to remember the days when people were trying to smoke the banana peels too!!! FYI, it didn't work!

Eric, I can just imagine your post the day you pull a tranny apart and it is gummed up with sawdust.
