I'm sure the content creator is a good presenter who does solid work...My commentary is more about these 'transmission or engine fixes in a bottle' that these companies keep putting out there because people keep buying them...Tore a 4L60E down a month ago where a guy told me he used stop slip thinking it would fix his failing 3-4 clutch...Didn't make a bit of difference, he said.


I mean if the clutchs are worn away, ain't nothing helping haha.


again I don't do automatic tranny stuff. always avoided the expensive magic box lol. but internal wet clutch packs are used all over, in limited slip diffs, some big axles I deal with at work have internal wet brakes. all the motorcycle clutches.. all of those react differently to different friction modifiers. those internal brakes are horrible about chattering and grabbing like crazy at low speeds without adding adjectives and modifiers. it doesn't seem like much of a stretch to me that if your lock up converter is chattering at lock up, if you can't pull the tranny yourself and install a expensive converter, a 10$ bottle of some additive to see if it helps is not the dumbest thing anything as ever done. we still have some old diesel engine that if you change oil and forget to add some ain't foaming suff that I thought was a joke they don't run very long haha. I learned that one the hard way. like do you mean it doesn't have fuel pressure because the oil foamed. ugh, I dislike diesel stuff haha.


I mean it seems like all these things need rebuilt and upgraded parts to fix design flaws from day one they roll out of the factory anyways. I'm. not above trying some stuff.

What needs to happen is somebody coming up with a bottle-fix that, upon being poured into the transmission, re-lines all the fiber surfaces with brand new friction material and fixes the source of the problem, assuming it's something like a leaky drum or other part. Perhaps a nano-tech solution of some sort...Perhaps I will get to work on one before someone else does, haha!
