97 Saturn with a manual trans
(Preview)
My ARX is on the way and I'm going to try it in my engine and transmission. But I'm wondering if it'll help with the trans problem I'm having. Getting it into 1st gear can be a problem, its not terrible but sometimes I have to shift to 2nd and then 1st and it'll go in. Do you think it'll help this problem? The ca...

Why no rinse cycle?
(Preview)
I'm currently 800 miles into Auto-RX in 99 Passat 1.8T ZF 71141 automatic transmission, with Valvoline MaxLife ATF. The factory fill was in there for 80K, and it was pitch black when I drained it out. It's already much smoother now with the new ATF. I'll drain and replace the ATF when it gets to 1000 mile...

Transmission Maintenance
(Preview)
Post by Rich 1
What most folks forget about is doing the transmission cleaning dose prior to having the fluid exchanged. The tranny is the weak link in many automobiles due to lack of fresh fluid. In an automatic normal fluid exchange should be every 30,000 miles. But most people don't get it done. If...

ARX in 1999 Audi A4 quattro tiptronic ZF trans.
(Preview)
Hi Folks, Long time ARX user and ARX heretic. This Spring I put about 8 to 10 ounces of ARX into my "sealed" 1999 A4's ZF tiptronic transmission. The reason for doing so was that after 108k miles the car started exhibiting torque converter un-lockup, which feels a lot like a slipping torque c...

Auto Rx in Manual Transmission?
(Preview)
Just got a Nissan 4 x 4 Truck with about 71K miles on it. I've had great results from ARX in engines and Automatic Transmissions but I've never used it on a manual tranmission. Do you think there is any reason to put it in my truck manual transmission before I change to synthetic? I just don't know if a...

ATF dipstick location
(Preview)
I have a 2002 Ford Explorer with the V-8. Would love to add Auto-Rx to the tranny but can't locate the dipstick. Somebody said Ford uses a sealed unit and has no dipstick. If this is true how would you add the recommended 6 ounces of product?

Just bought this truck 2 weeks ago and since it has the O/D on the shift stalk it is in O/D when u start it up. I thought it started out in 2nd gear all the time until I put 6oz of Auto-RX in it 100 miles back. Today it started using 1st gear out of the blue. Auto-RX=GREAT STUFF.

This will guarantee that all deposits are suspended in the old fluid before purging. It is not advisable to add the 6 fluid ounces a...
