doesn't sound like you did it right. sounds like you just dumped it into the gas tank.

This is only after about 7 miles of driving. I'll know more tomorrow after the drive to work.
(a personal disclaimer) I should point out that I know my driving style is such that I should get tranny work done to create a better experience and make my tranny work less. I'm not thinking that SeaFoam is a work-around for what should happen. ...but I like what it did for me.

No, it will run like total crap with it pulled. You may need to pinch the hose a little when you do it so not as much air gets in through the hose and leans out the engine...
