Seafoam?
Yay or nay? I've got 141000 miles on the car and its been hesitating a bit lately. At first it was having issues finding the right gear when decelerating, which seems to have been fixed with a tranny flush, but now on occasion it hesitates to accelerate after making a turn. just feels like the power is gone

so i am contemplating running some seafoam. anyone have experience or is this a big no no. i'm no mechanic but im slowly trying to start taking car of my own maintenance on this car.

You should buy my CLK55 engine freshen it up and put it in your 430. You wouldn't have any worries about power again.

Normally I would, but with the way the economy is I don't think the bank is accepting hopes and dreams anymore.
