Depends on what you are after. The AW in my '85 765T has a front seal leak,
and I don't intend to remove and reinstall the tranny to address that. The
car was hit by an intoxicated driver (while it was in a parking lot and he
was trying to drive down the street!) and is damaged beyond economic repair,
so it is on the "keep it running for now" list. Lucas additive has reduced
the leak about 80% and smoothed the shifting slightly. The stuff looks like
Dexron colored honey, or maybe a little thicker.

I wouldn't recommend it for a tranny that is working okay and isn't leaking.
