IF this cures it then you should run a "water injection" unit on it in the future.. That also uses a window washer solvent for best results..

Well I'm call'n B.S. on the "water injection" but did you really run windshield washer solvent and brake fluid? He said only to use the "red" transmission fluid if I did this in the gas tank.
