Transmission Filter: Too often the transmission filter is confused in its performance with that of an oil filter. In most cars the filter resembles that of a bug screen to catch pieces of large particles or contaminants. It is not necessary to remove the filter (if the transmission even has one).

T-TEC Procedure:
We prefer the T-TEC procedure to change out transmission fluid, because it replaces 100% of the transmission's old, dirty fluid. This is important considering traditional ATF services drain little more than 30% of the old fluid from the transmission, leaving nearly 75% of the dirty fluid in the transmission to mix with the new. T-TEC connects through the transmission cooler lines and provides a clean, environmentally friendly, and systematic approach to servicing automatic transmissions. The unit will flush virtually all of the old transmission fluid and replace it with the new fluid while the engine is idling.

A Single Treatment:
Auto-Rx^® easily dissolves transmission deposits compared to engine deposits, because the transmission is basically a sealed unit. The deposit formations are not complex, as in a motor. Motor deposits gain complexity due to combustion gases from blow-by and airborne contaminants ingested into the oil, such as dirt and moisture. Therefore, a single treatment is all that is needed.

The chemical formulation of Auto-Rx^® is the same for engines, transmissions, motorcycles, and diesels. The only difference is in the individual applications.

Heat and Contaminants: A Transmission's Greatest Enemies

It is scientifically proven that every problem that occurs in a transmission (other than manufacturing defects) is caused by contamination— the same as in an engine. Contamination is the number one cause of transmission trouble! Why? Because it creates uneven hotspots. And the contamination process has already begun within the first 10,000 miles. Some symptoms of transmission failure include slippage and difficulty or inability to shift. That's why it's recommended that you clean your transmission at least every two years or after 25,000 miles.

Removing this contamination is critical to the life of your transmission. First, this contamination interferes with the operation of your transmission's valve body (which regulates shifting). Second, the internal seals dry out and become compressed. This compression creates pockets where the seals do not make contact, and it results in a loss of internal pressure.

Auto-Rx^® is your solution. Auto-Rx^® works as you drive. Contamination residue and build-up are liquefied and gradually removed by the transmission filter, cleaning the internal mechanism of your transmission. Select one of the links below that will have Auto-Rx^® working for you in no time!

Automatic Transmission
Automatic transmissions are generally not properly serviced over a vehicle’s intended life. For this reason, transmissions get a bad rap as being the weak link in the drive train. Repairs are generally very costly, usually starting at over $2,000. Owner manuals put fluid exchange intervals as high as 80,000 miles, but a transmission repair shop will seldom recommend running the fluid for more than 30,000 miles. So who would you believe? If you have more than 30,000 miles on your vehicle, we highly recommend adding the prescribed dose of Auto-Rx^® and driving 1,000 miles for ordinary driving conditions or 3,000 miles for harsh conditions (see Step 5 below) before a fluid change. This will ensure that deposits, gums, and varnishes come out with draining. Don’t put fresh fluid into a gummed-up system. A single treatment is all that is needed.

To get the most out of Auto-Rx^®, we recommend the following easy, step-by-step method of use:

STEP 1	Check the transmission fluid level. If it is at or below the full mark, there is space available to add Auto-Rx^®. If the level is overfilled, it should be returned to the proper level before continuing.
STEP 2	Add approximately 6 ounces of Auto-Rx^® regardless of the fluid capacity. (For metric measurements, use 138 mL.) Each bottle of Auto-Rx^® contains 12 fluid ounces.
STEP 3	Drive approximately 5 miles to circulate and evenly disperse the Auto-Rx^® in the transmission fluid.
STEP 4	Check the fluid level again. Add transmission fluid if the level is below the full mark.
STEP 5	For vehicles operating under normal driving conditions, drive the vehicle normally for 1,000 miles (or 3,000 miles if under harsh conditions).
STEP 6	Empty the transmission fluid and replace with fresh fluid approved for your transmission.
STEP 7	Change the filter at this time if your transmission is so equipped. This removes the liquefied contaminants off the valve bodies and the torque convertor.
STEP 8	Congratulations! Your cleaning application is done.

Manual Transmission
To get the most out of Auto-Rx^®, we recommend the following method of use. The application will last for the life of your manual transmission:

STEP 1	Add 1 ounce of Auto-Rx^® per quart of oil.
STEP 2	Drive 1,000 miles for vehicles driven routinely in high mileage situations, or 3,000 miles for vehicles in harsh conditions, such as dry and dusty with extreme heat.
STEP 3	Drain the Auto-Rx^® and oil. Refill according to vehicle manufacturer's recommendation.

Power Steering
To get the most out of Auto-Rx^®, we recommend the following method of use. Afterward, any leak in the system will be gone.

STEP 1	Add 1 ounce of Auto-RX^® per quart of power steering fluid.
STEP 2	Drive 1,000 miles and then drain.
STEP 3	Refill according to vehicle manufacturer's recommendation.

Differential
To get the most out of Auto-Rx^®, we recommend the following method of use:

STEP 1	Add 2 ounces of Auto-Rx^® per quart of oil.
STEP 2	Drive 1,000 miles and then drain.
STEP 3	Refill according to vehicle manufacturer's recommendation. This unit uses heavy gear oil.
