My Reatta has been very hesitant to shift out of first until it reaches operating temp. I just tried the Sea Foam and had next day major improvement. Fingers are crossed that it just cleaning and is not in the process of killing the o rings and seals.

On advice from this forum I drained and refilled after about 2 weeks. No damage as of yet. This was about 8 months ago that I did this.

I'm not a fan of automotive cures in a bottle, but Seafoan Trans Medic cured a dead (acted as in neutral when in DRIVE) on a '93 Eldo I had. Made me a believer.

The last of the special built pedal cars will be going up for sale at the RM Auctions in Scottsdale in January. Built by the renown restorer Fran Roxas, this "Dusey" is truly is another work of art. |
