Just for the hell of it I bought a bottle of Bars Leak rear main seal repair and dumped it in the tranny. Cost me a whole $8.94. Figured for that huge sum of money what have I got to loose. Well damn after about 30 mins mowing with it I noticed it was getting better, by the time I was done about 3 hours it feels as good as new and the howl is gone. It claims to swell seals so I figured the PS system in these things is nothing but a bunch of O-Rings. Am I recommending this, no I'm going telling you what I did. Now for a long term test to see how it holds up or if it causes any problems. :beerchug::beerchug:

Now the other question. Most transmission leaks are the infamous cork gasket. Would this swell that as well and seal it off or will it only work on rubber seals. I think we need another volunteer.
I’m curious Sam. Did you by any chance smell it? Does it smell like it has brake fluid in it?
PS before you get flamed and pissed off, might I recommend pepper in the radiator and banana peels in the differential? :biggrin2:
Just kidding, good for you. I’m interested in the long term on this so hope it’s updated in a while!
