When performing a transmission flush, add ½ can Trans Tune® to the automatic transmission fluid before servicing.  Drive for at least 30 minutes and run the engine through all gears.  Trans Tune® will slowly re-liquefy old ATF fluid residue deposits that can prevent valve bodies, governors, bands, pumps and solenoids from functioning normally.  Perform the transmission flush and add ½ can Trans Tune® to the fresh fluid to prevent future residue and moisture build up. Trans Tune® can also be used with a transmission flush machine.

To control moisture buildup in automatic transmission fluid, add ½ can Trans Tune® to the fluid.  After at least 30 minutes of driving, check the transmission fluid for color and clarity.  The addition of a high detergent oil like Trans Tune® may cause the transmission fluid to become dirty sooner than normal as it re-liquefies old ATF fluid residue deposits and cleans built-up contamination.  If the fluid still looks clean then the filter was able to remove these contaminants.  When the fluid is dirty, change it.

To address issues including rough and erratic shifting, add ½ can Trans Tune® to the average automatic transmission fluid. Trans Tune® is 100% petroleum and will not swell seals or alter the viscosity of the fluid.

Trans Tune® will slowly re-liquefy old ATF fluid residue deposits that can prevent valve bodies, governors, bands, solenoids and pumps from functioning normally.

After driving for at least 30 minutes, check the transmission fluid for color and clarity. The addition of a high detergent oil like Trans Tune® may cause the transmission fluid to become dirty sooner than normal as it cleans built-up contamination.

If the fluid still looks clean then the filter was able to remove these contaminants. When the fluid is dirty, change it. This process can be done either as a pre service cleaning procedure or – if the fluid is clean – as a preventative maintenance procedure.

Locate your automatic transmission dip stick/filler tube. Remove the dip stick.

Insert an appropriately sized funnel into the filler tube, and add ½ pint of Trans Tune®. Replace the dip stick, and drive the vehicle for 30 minutes. Pull the automatic transmission dip stick again and check the color and clarity of the fluid. If the fluid looks substantially dirtier than before the treatment, your transmission filter may be too dirty to filter out the gum and residue that Trans Tune® liquefied. In this case, consult with your professional mechanic to have your filter replaced.

To control moisture buildup in hydraulic fluid, add 1 pint Trans Tune® to every four gallons of fluid at full operating temperature.  After at least 30 minutes of operation, check the hydraulic fluid for color and clarity. The addition of a high detergent oil like Trans Tune® may cause the hydraulic fluid to become dirty sooner than normal as it cleans built-up contamination.  When the fluid is dirty, change it.

To flush a hydraulic system, add 1 pint Trans Tune® to every four gallons of hydraulic fluid to re-liquefy old hydraulic oil residue deposits and suspend contaminants in the fluid.  Allow at least 30 minutes of operating time at full operating temperature before changing the hydraulic fluid to allow Trans Tune® to clean.  Trans Tune® can also be added to the fresh hydraulic fluid as a preventative maintenance additive to prevent future residue and moisture buildup.

To de-ice frozen hydraulic fluid, add 1 pint Trans Tune® to every four gallons of fluid.  Tran Tune dries the built up moisture that freezes in low temperatures.

To address issues with noisy or whining power steering pumps, remove approximately 1 - 2 oz. of power steering fluid and replace with Trans Tune®.

Trans Tune® will improve the performance of the pump by cleaning and lubricating the bearings in the pump and controlling moisture buildup.  Re-check your power steering fluid level and add as necessary as some of the Trans Tune® will evaporate over time.

Before installing a new rack and pinion or power steering pump, most manufacturers require you to flush the system first.  This process removes aluminum shavings and other contaminants in the old power steering fluid that could damage the new parts.  Flushing with power steering fluid alone removes contaminants that are suspended in the fluid but leaves behind any contaminants that are trapped in old power steering fluid residue deposits.
