In addition...
Do you just dump it in or will it overfill the tranny? I've got a bottle but haven't put it in yet. I am not sure what will happen. Either way, i will probably need a new trans.

Never heard of an additive that truely helped an ailing trans, altought there is a debt on if posi end additive will help shifts??? but the jury is still out on that one. As for adding a qt. it will do one of 3 things, may cause the trans fluid to spew out the vent tube, may help shifts if the filter is sucking air or may not do anything at all.

wot shifting flair?
If you are flairing between shifts, you are looking at a problem of fluid starvation. The best cure is a bottom feeder low sump pick-up. You have a lose of fluid at the filter when accelerating. The extra quart is a bandaid, but the fix is having the trans fluid at the filter when you are into the gas. That is why you need to run a low feed sump and filter. Running overfilled is not a good idea under any circumstance. Mark

BOTTOM FEEDER
The bottom feeder is only sold with the shallow or deep pans we have. The sump will not work with the factory pan, and its dimensions are set with either of the two pans its sold with. The part numbers on our shallow pan kit is #36 and the deep is #35 in our online catalog. It not only places the filter low, but also towards the back where the fluid is under WOT. May be others out there, but I don't know of one that is as clean looking as ours. And that isn't just a prideful comment either, lol,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Mark
