Depends on what the underlying issues were and how bad… I didn’t have major issues, metal shavings and had decent fluid intervals, mine appeared to be either electrical, a sensor or likely we thought pressure holding as it did better overfilled and when expanded when warm. The bottle help with...

Agreed! So many things can fall under these codes.

I was kind of wondering this myself on how long the rings are good for. Methinks I’ll simply add a bottle at each drain and fill once leveled or after a full exchange is done. Essentially, it’s just a new bottle every 30k or 3-5yrs.

All good! Not a bad question. It’s a sealed system, so you put it in the fill plug on the transmission.

Correct, add to the existing! Small amount and the extra volume helps with pressure.

Admin for the win! Updated!

Shoot! Looks like I can no longer edit the original first post on this thread 😞. I was going to update it with adding AT205 to the list of items for viewers to try vs. having them read through 49 pages and 3 years of material. Any idea if an admin or someone can unlock it for editing?

4 weeks with AT205 and we drive it consistently on a cold start in drive with NO CODES! It used to be like clockwork in the first 5 minutes between 3-4 gear on triggering the code. Shifts buttery smooth. Still waiting on a Colorado winter cold to test how it does. That’ll be the real test. So...

On mine, added in the AT-205 a week ago, maybe 100 miles on it. Drove today from a cold start and no codes. Shifted fine like it does when warmed up. This never happens. Methinks overfilling with the At-205 helps a bit as overfilling has helped with pressure in the transmission in the past...

I def appreciate another option vs. DIY, rebuild unknown or full replace or doing nothing. Short term for sure now, absolutely not for everyone as these codes mean many things underneath. I am not a big believer in adding snake oil into items and then magically getting better. Time will tell...

@PinkyPeePaw - Keep us up to date as you and another have found this has resolved the issues.

I’ll report back in a week or so as I get some mileage on it. I am a good candidate as there is nothing electrical or mechanically found when inspected. So far that’s 2 on this forum that have found reprieve in using it! I agree that time and colder weather will be inportant.

Bought a bottle of AT205, quick 5 minutes to add it. I figure a few items that are a plus… 1)I have zero solenoid or hard shifts prior, simply a pressure item, so we’ll see how this works after time… 2)Having extra fluid always has helped with the codes, so that extra 8oz should do…. 3)No risk...

Thanks! Ordering a bottle!

In these 900 miles, how has it helped? Does it shift normally the first 15 minutes, no codes, no hard shifts?
