I personally wouldn't use it. I took my tranny apart at 80k and it looked perfectly clean on the inside. Trannsmission fluid can be used to *clean* your motor. So with this being said I'd imagine the tranny fluid breaks down most garbage in the tranny.

So I say the best thing for your tranny is to replace your fluid more often.

I changed my tranny oil about 350 miles ago, before I changed it for at least 30,000 and 5 years. The old tranny oil came out exactly like it went in in... same color, same weight, was not broken down one bit, I was shocked to say the least...

I've never used seafoam on the R. Use oem fluids and follow your maintenance intervals and you'll be good to go.

That has to be an exception. I've broken down fresh fluid over one weekend at the track. I know I'm not the only one either.

I guess conditions differ vastly after a track session compared to miles of street driving.

I changed mine last year b4 E7 and it had never been tracked. Fluid was super clean and the mileage was 31k.

There is absolutely no reason to use seafoam in a honda transmission.

x2. There are no carbon deposits, moisture, and even air can't get in. It sounds like a gimmick that makes me question the legitimacy of seafoam made for engines..
