FWD Mazda family sedan with 120,000 miles. I added a bottle of ATP 205 re seal to the tranny through the dipstick. The transmission was shifting normally beforehand. After adding the 205 reseal, I noticed the car now has transmission slip under harder acceleration and doesn't pull as hard when accelerating. The shifts are a lot smoother and less pronounced too, not that thats a good thing in my opinion (because its indicative of slip).
I am hoping that the fluid level was raised above what it should be thus the slip, but my question is, will the ATP 205 eventually evaporate from within the tranny oil, and leave the oil in the same condition it was prior, or will I have to try drain some fluid out? What if I drive around with the tranny dipstick raised a bit?
In case you are wondering why i added the product to a well working tranny, an attempt at preventative maintenance. I Have used the product with great results before, even just as a preventative measure in smaller amounts in cars that had no problems but were getting old, it has always done the job. But never the tranny case.
I figured I'd add some because many auto transmission problems are due to drying up of seals and it wont hurt to restore seal properties. Apparently it did, thought I am hoping its temporary.
It has been 3 days since I added the 205, and the slip is slowly getting less and less, but its still there.
