In the storage clean up adventure,I found a can of this(unused and no
idea where it came from???)made by K&W.

Claims; "Guaranteed to stop leaks and restore smooth shifting in 5
miles"
What scares me; (in small print)"Mechanic in a can"

contains the following chemicals
Lubricating oils (CAS 64742-52-5)
Methyl Benzene (CAS 108-88-3)
Diacetone Alcohol (CAS 123-42-2)
Dimethyl Benzene (CAS 1330-20-7)
Isopropyl Alcohol (CAS 67-63-0)

So,snake oil or okay to use?

Hello Captain: I've used it on another car (Dodge Caravan, front wheeel
drive).. I believe it is meant for leaking around any rubber seals as
it swells up the rubber. It worked for awhile but probably is not a
permanent fix. I don't know how it would work in standard
transmissions.
