In my experience, you spin the wheel of fate with additives made to "quiet", "fix", or "remedy" something. Sometimes you can run another 60k miles, sometimes you can chew up a pump or clog something in 5 minutes. This especially applies to radiator stop-leak, but that's another story..
You had luck with the dr.tranny, and that kind of scares me because it's a friction modifier- as in "make the Torque Converter Clutch grab better", insinuating that a)the clutch is worn, or b)not getting enough pressure from the pump..

Thanks Mike! Great info. Assumed it was worn torque converter clutch or bad Valve Body. Hoping for the latter (as I can fix that). I think I’ve decided to bite the bullet and get the 30k mile tranny installed.
I’m going to try some Lucas trans fix as a temporary fix. Recognize I may grenade it, but $10 and I’ll still end at the same outcome- new (to me) transmission.
