seafoam

I believe there are two types of Seafoam... I've used the origional seafoam in my fuel and crankcase... then there's a seperate Seafoam for the tranny. It's at every NAPA around here.

wrangler76 is right...there is now a seafoam made just for transmissions. You should be able to find it at any auto parts stores, or any mechanic shops in your area. I have never used the stuff for the tranny but I have had good results with the regular seafoam in my crank case and fuel system.

It is a brand of mechanic in the can witch doctor's brew of solvents. One of those cure-all snakeoil deals.

I thought this was going to be a thread about turquoise paint.

Try NAPA. I believe the engine treatment works for removing carbon. Most tranny treatments work by swelling the seals however and this tends to work initially but the swelling continues. If you were to flush the fluid after the treatment you would then stop the process. Of course this complicates things.

Seafoam gas treatment works good in outboard engines, when you let them sit a little longer than you should.

Most tranny additives like Lucas Oils make the seal swell, seafoam cleans out the crap that builds up in the small passages of your automatic transmission.

Yes, it works wonders, and I resent that anyone would consider it a snake oil.

NAPA, and Carquest carry the product.
