I saw this. Is this worth getting?
Any product that claims "Repair" or 'rebuild" is making a physically impossible claim and should be shunned.I've had my eye on bar's leaks gear repair 1816. Not much info about it out there. Says it repairs gears.
My car came with an empty diff. The gasket change and fill with redline did such wonders I don't think I'll touch it again.
Bar’s Leaks Gear Repair (P/N 1816) is formulated to revitalize the gear fluid with a proprietary blend of additives. The formula’s seal conditioner protects and reconditions seals, while extreme pressure anti-wear agents provide metal-to-metal wear protection to reduce noise and gear temperatures. A friction modifier helps further reduce noise and wear to improve shifting in manual transmissions and stop chatter in limited slip positraction axles. A performance additive booster includes tackifier and highly sheer-stable multigrade viscosity modifiers to help keep oil on the gears and bearings where it can better lubricate, especially at higher temperatures. And a pour point depressant ensures that Gear Repair will flow even at low temperatures.
Bar’s Leaks Gear Repair extends system life by stopping pinion, axle and other seal leaks, reduces friction and noise, and improves gear performance. The additive also provides superior anti-wear, anti-foam and anti-corrosion protection.
So the product name is deceptive and physically impossible but you still want to use it?While the product name is "gear repair" a press release I found says:
That all sounds really great for the effort and cost. I do still get some grinding and clunking from it at times.
Kind of like an Informercial.deceptive and physically impossible
