Does seafoam clean transmission?
Most automatic transmission shifting problems are caused by sticky varnish residues that form in old fluid. Sea Foam's Trans Tune works fast to reliquefy varnish deposits from valve bodies, solenoids and shift actuators. Also works great as a fluid cleaner and conditioner, or as a pre-flush cleaner.
Can you clean a transmission with water?
Water inside of an automatic transmission is highly destructive. The only option is to quickly service and flush the transmission with new transmission fluid, and in some cases -- especially if the transmission is large and used behind a V-8 engine -- this process will require several dozen quarts of fluid.
Are transmission flushes worth it?
