Seafoam Trans Tune?

[Firebird Phoenix]

I plan on doing a tune up in a few thousand miles and learned of another great Seafoam product. Seafoam Trans Tune. This is what i've read about it

* A 100% pure petroleum product. SeaFoam Trans-Tune is a conditioner that is not a stop leak and is entirely compatible with all automatic transmission power steering and hydraulic units
* Cleans gum and varnish smooths rough and erratic shifting maintains smooth operation auto-transmission flush power steering and rack and pinion flush and cleans and dries hydraulics.
* Sea Foam Trans-Tune works and performs instantly.

Seafoam Trans Tune at Amazon.com

So...if I read that correctly you can put this in your power steering (fluid) pump?? If so how much? Also could this be used for a manual? I plan on changing my transmission fluid and this seemed like a ideal thing to do beforehand. Thank you.

No do not use this in a manual trans just change the fluid, also just do the same with the auto. all those products do is recondition the atf they do nothing for the bands in the trans which wear out. so just change the fluid and filter regularly. plus the same for the ps fluid if it needs to be cleaned just unhook the return line to the revior and turn over engine a few times while pouring in fresh fluid. repeat until all old fluid is out. this will also clean out your rack and pinion too.
