    my olds tranny started to not get reverse , i drained all the fluid, cleaned the pan, when you buy a new filter there is a new gasket for the pan, change it, and use the manufactures recommended fluid , do not over fill, my tranny is fine , i wouldn't use any additives of any sort in any car.

    Not needed, if your transmission is working normal then there is no need for additives, the smae as for your engine.... slick 50 and all those oil additives are not needed. If your engine runs at the proper operating tempature and you change your oil and keep it clean then those other products arent ever needed. Just nusinesses trying to rip off the consumer.

    Don't waste your money I worked in a trans shop for a couple years and all that stuff does is put a bad smelling film on parts and cost you money

    My two cent's.

    If your tranny is slipping and you suspect that it is going to require a rebuild anyway.

    A $5 can of seal conditioner is not going to hurt it any more.

    Greased Lightning sounds like a friction modifier, not what you want.

    Look for the stuff that says seal conditioner.

    I've used Trans-X twice. Both times the tranny got worse after pouring it in. They should rename it Trans-kill.

    No magic in a bottle, do proper servicing and you will have no problems. If a problem exists, additives may seem to help for a short period but can't fix it. Sometimes additives create problems themselves.
