Seafoam trans-tune (not the same as the stuff you use on the motor) is the only 'aftermarket' product I'll put in a trans. It may or may not help you. It depends on what the problem is.

So yup.... its dead


On my way home from work, about 3 miles from work it started to slip just a bit.
Then it started to slip REALLY bad, so much it would not move at all.

So i parked in a parking lot. waited about 5min, started it back up and it worked okish.
Then about 4-5miles later it did it again, you could start to feel it slipping then nothing.
So i did that for the whole 25mile 45min drive home.
If it started to slip while was going down the road i Poped it into N and turned off the car for 15second or so and then restarted it and it worked for another 4-5miles


So yea... looks like i might have to drive the SSEi and HOPE it does not snow :?

Sorry to hear that Ryan. If when you get to doing the transmission you now I'll be there to help if I can.

Witht he way its acting, you want to try an external cooler? It seems like letting it cool off helps.

Yea, it made it to 196K.

Thanks guys, Im working on getting a used one and i have a co-worker who has a dad that has a Shop so i should be able to get this all said and done for around $500 or less :?

So that bad part is that i have $120 to my name right now, so its going to take like 3 weeks or so maybe for my to have the $.

Yea, papatim. if for some reason the guys Dad wants a lot of $ to do it then im going to try it on my own.

so ill keep everyone posted.
