Chuck it in the bin. Gearboxes don't need crap like
that - that's what modern oil is for. Auto gearbox leak
stoppers just make the oil seals swell up - holding
oil for long enough to sell the thing before the seal
blows big style.

Oh I don't know - I managed to get rid of an old banger full of that!

Cats know your every thought.

To use you generally just add it to the gear oil and its as simple as that with such additives. 

If you are going to use additives, stick to Forte but I would advise against them as they generally end up doing more harm.
