HOW TO FIX A HYDRAULIC SYSTEM WITH TRANS TUNE

OVERCOMING ROUGH
OPERATION

Many factors go into hydraulic system design to ensure smooth, noise-free operation, but that depends upon a clean system with the correct fluid.

If your hydraulic system is slow, noisy, jerky, or is weak, it is likely due to fluid that has broken down into sticky, gummy varnish.
Sticky varnish stops the pumps and valves in your hydraulic circuit from operating freely as they should. It plugs orifices and regulators. It jams the movement of control valves. It is eventually the cause of system failure.
Thankfully, you can break down these deposits by adding Sea Foam Trans Tune to your petroleum-based hydraulic system as a pre-flush. Use one pint per four gallons of fluid in your system.

CLEANS HYDRAULIC FLUID RESIDUES THAT CAUSE ROUGH OPERATION

Use Trans Tune in hydraulic fluid systems to help solve and prevent problems caused by sticky residues and moisture in fluid.

GUM AND VARNISH PROBLEMS
IN HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS

Modern vehicles rely on a variety of sensors and valves to run properly. Your temperature sensor, for example, alters the fuel/air mixture based on the needs of your engine when cold or hot. Your airflow sensor controls the mixture based on the amount of air in the engine. Your EGR valve recirculates exhaust fumes back into the combustion system and your PCV valve takes air and fuel from the crankcase and routes it back through the intake manifold. In short, if any of your vehicle’s sensors or valves are failing or stuck, it could cause your engine to run rough.
The method for draining the old fluid will vary from system to system, so you should check the manufacturer’s service procedure to ensure the system is filled, primed, and bled properly after being drained. If there is not a procedure, you can shut the system off and drain the reservoir with a suction tool like a turkey baster to remove old fluid. You should then top off the reservoir and cycle the system more before draining and refilling the reservoir again.
If the fluid is very old, you might need to do a few flushes to restore full function. However, you should notice an improvement after the first flush. You may also benefit from running the hydraulic system longer before flushing if the fluid condition is noticeably bad.
Once the system is back in proper operating order with fresh fluid, add one pint of Trans Tune per 4 gallons of hydraulic fluid to condition the fluid for the life of that fluid. This ensures varnish stays liquified and does not cause issues in your system before your next service!

How Trans Tune helps
hydraulic fluid systems

Every petroleum fluid system is prone to erratic and rough performance caused by gum, varnish, and moisture. Trans Tune works fast to dissolve harmful deposits and control the moisture that impairs fluid systems.
Trans Tune works in hydraulic fluid to clean sticky varnish from pressure valves and hydraulic pumps, and to help manage moisture in fluid. It’s safe for use in all types of petroleum-based hydraulic fluid and will not harm gaskets and O-rings or swell seals. Use as a conditioner or an excellent pre-flush cleaner!
QUALITY OF PRODUCT
THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS ARE CRISP AND PRECISE
““I have a 2002 Dodge Durango 4WD with a 4.7L engine. Recently the transmission seemed to be sluggish after the car was driven and got warm. I used a can of the Sea Foam Trans Tune in the transmission and after a day or so of driving it the transmission shifts are crisp and precise. It really straightened out my tranny.””
