I had a very long post and now lost it all. So this post is the condensed version!
I have 1995 GMC Jimmy with 240,000 miles, it had a terrible transfer case input seal leak, leaking transmission fluid into the transfer case. Leaking about quart of transmission fluid into transfer case every 120 miles.. This happened after the Jimmy sat a year and was not drove. Leak was so bad that transfer case would get over filled and then transmission fluid would leak out the vent that is attached to the transmission fill and dipstick tube..
Well it cost 350$ to get it fixed so I wanted to try transmission fluid sealers.
1.) I first tried Lucas brand Transmission fix/sealer, it did not fix the leak. (it I good stuff though, all of their products)
2.) Then I tried a petroleum based Transmission sealer I bought from Walmart, can't remember brand for about $6. It did not stop the leak.
3.) Then I did a large amount of research online and found a general leak sealer that by it 300 reviews on amazon.com sounded awesome. It was ATP AT-205 Re-Seal Stops Leaks, 8 Ounce Bottle for about $11. It did not stop the leak. (may be good stuff for other applications, but didn't work)
4.) THEN WITH MORE RESEARCH I FOUND: Blue Devil Transmission Sealer for about $12.50, and seen great reviews for it. I put the Blue Devil Transmission Sealer in and drove to work two days in a row at about 230 miles total AND IT SEALED MY VERY BAD LEAKING TRANSFER CASE INPUT SEAL!!! It hasn't leaked since and I have checked it everyday I have drove now for about 2 weeks. REMEMBER BLUE DEVIL BRAND TRANSMISSION SEALER!
So I thought I would share and maybe save you guys some heartache! It's all true. So if you have a leaking Transmission or Transfer case use Go to Step 4 above! Hope I maybe will save you guys some money for your futures because all of our Jimmys/Blazers are getting old and we don't want to dump a large amount money in them, so find things that work and post it!!
Just trying to do my part and get the word out....
