<VV> Tranny in a can --

I think the reference would be to the fact the trans quit working 
because it needed repair / overhaul -- the additive allowed it to work 
to some extent, so it got driven -- driven when the normal order would 
have been a rebuildable core, but in that amount of extra service, 
mechanical parts were worn beyond normal limits, meaning the cost of 
replacing some of the major internals exceeds the value of a rebuilt 
trans + core.

Normally, one does a lot of clean-up and replaces frictions, seals, 
bushings, and bands -- when you start having to replace hard parts --  
drums, spragues, planetary sets, pistons, shafts -- prices can escalate, 
as well as the odds of future troubles.

I certainly would have preferred to have heard that a SeaFoam product 
had been used instead of Lucas -- Lucas oil additives have about the 
same history of service as Lucas electricals, mo.
