Actually no... I've had no issues with it at all. However, when Aamco starting carrying their own line of products (and Walmart/AZ/other), a friend that works for them, scored me a free case of Aamco Mercon V .
What is the reason for NOT doing a maintenance Dose on an Auto transmission?quote:

04SpecV you are correct. Do not add a maintenance dose of Auto-Rx in any amount to the transmission. Just do the clean and then do a complete fluid change. Then before you do your next change fluid change, do your clean again adding the 6 ounces. I asked this question about 2 years ago and it has not changed. Good question though.
I'll give you that on the factory filter but what if you add an external filter such as a Magnefine which filters out a lower micron of stuff plus has the magnet to pull ferrous particles. Or even the external filter sold by dieselsite.com. I would think a small dose of Auto-rx would increase the dispursment ability of the ATF to help carry the garbage to the mentioned external filters instead of fouling up the shift solenids and such. Does this make sense? I mean, I'd rather maintain a clean tranny than to have to auto-rx clean it every X-amount of miles when it starts gunking up again.
Ok Frank, How about this then, I just put a new torque converter in my 4R100 behind my 7.3 PSD. So that TC shouldn't be buggered up yet. Since I use an external filter, I would think that a 1-2 ounce maintenance dose would go a long way to prevent the TC and solenoid pack from getting boogered up with garbage. What do you say?
You and I are obviously on the same page then.quote:

Hammer,
I do have an external FF on my 95 like the one Bob Riley sells. And I do use a 2 ounce maintenance dose. My 01 has the Magnefine and I also use a 2 ounce maintenance dose in it. I did not post that because without that type filter being used then I agree with Auto-Rx, don't use a maintenance dose in the auto-trans.
