There are no rubber seals in the valve body but the accumulator and the
clutch pistons are all rubber seals. A stick governor or valve body may
affect shift action but slipping is almost always a mechanical (metal seal
rings) or hydraulic failure. Ever wonder what all that dirt is that the
seafoam is loosening? Yes, it is the worn off clutch linings. Ever wonder
where most of that stuff really goes? It is centrifugally attached to the
outer drum of the torque converter. That is why tranny shops always want
to rebuild them.

A slipping transmission can be a dirty valve body. Try seafoam trans tune
from Advance Auto Parts.This is not a seal a conditioner.There are no
rubber seals in the trans vlave body ,either. It will rip the snot out of
an elephants trunk!! Nothing to loose?
