I have found "Militec-1" to be a superior metal treatment. It works well in 
transmissions as well as in engines. I used it on my 1990 Audi 100 after the 
transmission was repaired. The torque converter was continuing to stick even 
after the gears were replaced. I added 4 ounces of Militec-1 to the tranny 
and never have had a problem since. There is great literature on the stuff at 
the link below, but sadly, the company that produces it is poorly run and 
doesn't market and support its retailers very well. When you find a retailer, 
buy as much of the stuff as you can afford, because you never know if he/she 
will be there when you come back for more. If you have no luck, there is a 
gentleman who has been in my area for about 10 years+ as a distributor and he 
seems to be pretty solid in his business and has ample supply of the product. 
If you can't find him, let me know and I'll get you his number. He will ship 
the stuff, even internationally, I believe. 

Don't mess with Slick 50. I have also heard about its "flaking" 
characteristic when the Teflon particles break down and "flake" pieces into 
your engine. Go with Militec-1, you will not be sorry. It has been used in 
the US armed services for years on helicopters, tanks, trucks, artillery and 
other weaponry. Not affiliated in any way, just a happy user of the product.

p.s. I have not heard any caveats with this product, but like with any 
slippery substance that you put into your engine, you need to realize that it 
will seek areas that oil could not seek and hence may have an effect on your 
gaskets and seals. Other listers can give you insight into this "synthetic 
effect" for example, on older, high mileage vehicles. In general, I don't 
think this product can hurt your older, high mileage car. Good luck.
