I wouldn't recommend any type of stop leak type prodcut. Most will ultimately do more long term damage easily outweighing any temporary short term remedy they may provide. If this is an Automatic tranny, you cant "slide it back". The torque converter is bolted to the fly wheel and fits into the front pump of the tranny. The torque conv is also penetrated by the front shaft of the tranny and it goes the entire depth of the TC. So you see there is no way to slide it back to gain access. You have to Remove it and while its out, you may as well have it serviced/rebuilt. The R/R is generally more than the servicing of the tranny itsself. They quotes me ~ 2-$300 parts and 5-6 hrs labor JUST for the rebuild. Add another 10+ hrs to R/R. While you have it out, replace the rear main seal of the engine since you are right there.
Good luck
