ATF Treatment - Any hope before a rebuild?
Do you think that maybe, by some slight chance, that the ATF treatment will help my car - maybe loosen up some frozen apex seal springs?? I'm going to try it tomorrow and let it sit overnight.

with the shaking it sounds like the apex seal may be broke,or just badly worn,
ah well atf it,
how could it hurt???
$4.00 or less
go down some post,maybe on page 2 and look for my pics and complete how to.

ATF generally only "fixes" engines that have been sitting for a very long time, like in a junkyard, or engines that have an excess of carbon buildup due to improper tuning or generally not driving the car hard (which is often why they end up in the junkyard). If the engine has the symptoms of a blown apex seal, it most likely DOES have a blown apex seal.

with your miles, "99,000" i would do it more for piece of mind rather then looking for hp gains,
in my book its definetly considered general maintnance at 100,000 miles,
go for it,
but remove that cat

Yea, when I said improvement I meant reliability, smoothness, etc not HP. I'd assume the HP gains would probably be minimal anyway. The thing I'm afraid of is destroying the cat and entire exhaust system in the process of removing it to do this. Hmmm the letters RB are coming to me.......
