Tranny anti foam
1 - 15 of 15 Posts
I put two 1-ounce bottles into my 2000ES and the difference is noticable. I spoke to a friend who is a mechanic at the local dodge dealer, he explained that the Ram truck owners have been doing this for years and no one ever has a problem. His further reasoning was that if it was bad for your car Mopar would restrict the sales of the stuff.
The mopar part # is 4549637, $3.05/ea, and you will need two of them. Simply take out yout trans fluid tube and put the stuff in. It takes a few days to work but you will like it!!!

I don't know, I spoke to the dealer about that anit-foam stuff, they didn't seem to excited about using it in my tranny. They told me that it is mainly used for rear differentials or something like that. They said it will help my torque converter but you may loose some grip on the friction plates in the tanny. Not sure what this means or even if I quoted them right but they seemed to stear me away from using that stuff.
BART..check my above post. It contains the MOPAR part # and price. The dodge dealer in my area didn't have them but the chrysler dealer did.
MOPAR4U..I believe your dealer was thinking about the wrong additive. He was referring to Hyploid gear additive which is also used bu the RAM truck guys. My friend the dodge mechanic said this stuff is not a good idea to use. The anti-foam got his thumbs up though.
Just my $0.02 worth...I think the $6 I spent is well worth it for the amount of "slush" it took out of my shifts.

Mopar: the Jeep dealer here in Eau Claire atcually recomended it to the mini-van guy ahead of me in line when I went to get it. The Guy was pulling a trailer, and didn't like how the van was shifting, so he sold him 3 oz of the stuff. pretty funny how that worked out. BTW, the dodge dealer (Bothun or something like that) doesn't carry the stuff.. and the parts guy said he didn't like it...... I think he just didn't know what he was talking about
I found from personal experience that my dodge dealer doesn't stock it because they need to buy it in cases of 12. All three local Chrysler dealers however had a plentiful supply!!
See the above link to an earlier post with Mopar part numbers and price.

I don't think the Dodge/Chrysler dealers in Eau Claire or Menomonie ever know what they are talking about. They are both horse **** if you ask me. Had bad experiences at both and yet I still buy cars from the local one. Maybe I'm the idiot.
Guys i went to the dealership today to get my oil change and free carwash and i asked my advisor really cool guy. i asked him about the tranny anti foam he told, me the only time you need this thing is when you feel that youre car is shifting hard and it reduces the foam in there. so just like to give you guys more information on this
