Corner Stopping Transmission Leaks AndSlips (NAPSA)—Down the road, transmission leaks can be a drain on your budget. By preventing them, you can save thousands of dollars in repair and replacement costs and avoid being without a car for days or even weeks at a About 2.6 million transmissions are expected to need rebuilding in 2004, according to the market researchfirm Frost & Sullivan. time. Leaks and overheating, which account for the majority of auto- matic transmission failure, are caused by dried, cracked or damaged transmission seals and gaskets. Many car owners, though, have discovered that merely by using a “revitalizing” additive called Trans-X—knownto auto buffs as “the slip eliminator”—they can not only repair and condition leaking seals and gaskets, but they can also restore their cars’ smooth shifting. It’s also good for preventive maintenance—emphasis on the word preventive. By removing dam- aging gums, varnishes, sludge and other deposits from transmission parts before they have a chance to build up, a car’s efficiency is increased and its transmission life actually extended for what TransX’s John Robinsoncalls “years.” “When you consider that the average age of a car right nowis 9.2 years,” says Robinson, “you can see whyprevention is so important.” The additive is compatible with all conventional and synthetic automatic transmission fluids, and is simply added to the transmission through the dipstick tube.
