I've heard that "miracle" cures like Trans-X can damage clutches by attacking the glue that holds them together. In fairness, that was from a transmission rebuilding shop (although a good one) that obviously has a vested interest in folks not using Trans-X. Jeremy

Wrong and unfair post. Plenty of people here on the forum with experience with Trans=X and similar fluids. Not fair to put them into ' miracle ' snake oil category when the way they work is straight forward... it swells the seal.
I have posted my experience with it from as far back as forty years ago... I only used it because a trusted family friend and mechanic recommended it at that time...
There is no evidence of damage to anything inside....... and it is an inexpensive possibly helpful first thing which can be tried...like $20.
