Transmission Problems? Try This Before Expensive Repairs

Transmission repair quotes can be shocking. $2,500 to $5,000+ for a rebuild. But many transmission problems can be solved for under $40 with XADO Transmission Treatment.

Common Transmission Symptoms

Slipping

  • What it feels like: Engine revs but car doesn't accelerate proportionally
  • Cause: Worn clutch packs or bands
  • XADO solution: Rebuilds friction surfaces, restores grip

Hard Shifting

  • What it feels like: Clunking or jerking between gears
  • Cause: Worn synchronizers or internal wear
  • XADO solution: Smooths gear engagement surfaces

Delayed Engagement

  • What it feels like: Lag when shifting into Drive or Reverse
  • Cause: Worn seals or internal wear
  • XADO solution: Restores seal surfaces and reduces internal friction

Whining Noise

  • What it feels like: High-pitched sound when accelerating
  • Cause: Worn bearings or gears
  • XADO solution: Reduces friction and noise

Real Hawaii Customer Story

Robert L., Waipahu - 2011 Nissan Altima

"My transmission was slipping so bad I thought I'd need a rebuild. Quotes were $3,200-$3,800. I tried XADO Transmission Treatment as a last resort before spending that money.

Within 50 miles, shifting was smoother. Within 200 miles, the slipping was completely gone. That was 18 months and 22,000 miles ago. Still shifts perfectly.

I saved $3,700."

How XADO Transmission Treatment Works

Unlike transmission fluids or flush products, XADO Revitalizant:

  1. Identifies wear areas through heat and friction
  2. Bonds to metal surfaces at the molecular level
  3. Rebuilds worn synchronizers, bands, and bearings
  4. Protects for 60,000 miles

The Process

  1. Add one bottle to your transmission fluid (works with any fluid)
  2. Drive normally for 500-1,000 miles
  3. The treatment activates and rebuilds worn areas
  4. Enjoy smooth shifting for years

When to Use XADO vs. When to Rebuild

Use XADO If:

  • ✅ Transmission still shifts (even if rough)
  • ✅ No grinding sounds
  • ✅ Fluid isn't burnt (dark brown/black)
  • ✅ No major leaks
  • ✅ Vehicle has under 200,000 miles

Rebuild Needed If:

  • ❌ Transmission won't engage at all
  • ❌ Metal shavings in fluid
  • ❌ Fluid is burnt and black
  • ❌ Major structural damage

Pro Tip: Even if you need a rebuild, use XADO after to protect your new transmission.

Cost Comparison

XADO First Approach

  1. Try XADO Treatment: $34.99
  2. If it works: Save $3,000-$5,000
  3. If it doesn't: You're out $35, still need rebuild

Rebuild First Approach

  1. Pay $3,000-$5,000
  2. Miss opportunity to fix for $35
  3. New transmission still susceptible to wear

Smart money tries XADO first.
