With all due respect to buckmath and Eriksson (who are indeed the ZF masters!), I wouldn't trust putting any additives what-so-ever in these very fragile transmissions. Some are great and can last you well over 200k miles, but others crap the bed before hitting 100k. The only way to help prevent failure is to religiously change the fluid, flush it often and don't kill it when you drive. I've seen way too many posts talking about how sensitive they are with respect to fluid, so I would never put in a "miracle" additive. If it whines a little like they all do, live with it. My auto has been feeding on ONLY the correct fluid (changed/flushed often) for 131,742 miles exaclty and still shifts like brand new. I could be dead wrong, but thats my gut feeling.
