Default Blue devil for worn out Transmission seals

Can I use blue devil to patch up the worn seals in my transmission. It's either that or a rebuild which I'm tryna avoid.

I'm not familiar with that particular brand, but the way those type of additives work is that they cause the seals to swell up, hopefully stopping the leak. May take a few hundred miles to see results.

Do a Google search and read the reviews.

Of course it's always better to fix the transmission properly,.

Yes that way I want to happen because they are so worn out n thin wen its cold but as the art warms the seal up it expands n stops leaks as u say but I need it to expand or swell wen my car is cold that way it build up pressure n engage wen I put my car in drive instead of it take minutes to engage

Mine had a minor leak and I tried one product - forgot the same of it. It However I ended up replacing the transmission seal. OEM from Toyota is $18. The hard part is to remove the axle bearing. It could be seized. Mine wasn't and paid $80 for labor.
