Mechanic in a can, has it ever worked for you ?
Ive been working on my 2003 Honda Accord ( rental house tactical assault vehicle ) I have a sticking valve in the trans. The filter blew apart, and dirt, and pieces of the filter are littered throughout the transmission .
I have drained and filled it twice now, and removed and cleaned out all the solenoids . I got it working about 95% of the time, but it will still occasionally stick, and not shift into 3rd . ( I dont really care, Ill drive it like this anyhow) .
I just found a bottle of Lucas transmission treatment in the trunk of the car. I dumped it in thinking what the heck, nothing to lose . I'm probably going to have to make real repairs at some point anyhow, but either way, I am just going to keep on with the drain and fill till I see no more particulate in the fluid.
I'm thinking of all products like this , tire slime , bars leaks, oil and power steering stop leak, head gasket leak stopper , ac leak stopper, and enhancer , there are tons of them on the market. I cannot recall ever seeing one really work .
I did have one customer with a blown head gasket on a 360 in a dodge truck, and to my surprise, that metallic paste they dumped in the radiator did work . For about a month. Then we had to replace the heater core, and radiator in addition to the head gasket repair
I have always believed it all to be snake oil . Has it ever worked for any of you ?
