hi everyone,

at the moment I'm having trouble with some leaking transmission
seals.    But the truth is that it's not worth fixing as the actual
trans itself is going out.   So I purchased a bottle of trans sealer.

Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to be working.   I do have a question
to ask:

If you run a car without a transmission filter, will the pressure
change cause the seals to leak?  You see, on the car that I have,
because of the sludge traveling through the liquid, it keeps clogging
up the trans filters.   So I decided just to run it without one
because I get tired of changing the filter every two weeks because
it's clogged.

Now that I'm doing that, I noticed that the seals seem to be
leaking.   I never noticed that before, or at least, I didn't recall
seeing any leakage.   But now I do.

I'm just wondering if there's a connection or not.   I do need to
replace the vehicle, but I'm low on money, so I'm just trying to make
this car run as long as possible  ---at least for a few months or so
longer till I'm able to secure a replacement.    The transmission
shifts good when it's warmed up, but there's a lot of debris (metal,
sludge etc) that clogs up the filters every two weeks.

thanks,
tysteel
