Transmission Treatments

[Guest Reattach_1]

I was wondering what kind of tranny treats are used here. I was cleaning out the gargage and I've found a bottle of Prolong trans treat and might put it in a trans fluid change. Is this good or bad or? I haven't had any transmission problems. Just was wondering about treatments and your opinions. Thanks.

prolong=very bad. They were sued by the US government for false advertising.

There are no good "treatments" for a good transmission, besides a new filter, proper flush, and good ATF, preferably Mobil 1 ATF

I'll look into Mobile 1 ATF. By the way, your baby looks sweet. Nice RIMS. <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> I wish that I could find some old or new deep dish slot rims for mind. Thanks. <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

If you haven't done a flush before, here...uff in the pan.

I don't like power flushing. I'm afraid of breaking the seal in the tranny. I had one done on my olds cutlass years ago and had to have it rebuilt shorty after.

It isn't quite power flushing, at least no machine is used here. Simply using the transmission's own pump to get its old fluid out of itself.

In your posting, what size and kind of drain plug would you get. Where would you put it and how deep would the plug be? I remember years ago of another member doing this to theirs.

You're on top of things.

I guess auto parts stores sell an add-a-plug, which I guess I would describe as a short, hollow bolt, with two nuts to hold it in the hole in the pan you drilled, and with threads inside of that, with a bolt. I'd add it somewhere in the bottom of the drain pan.
