Mark, air conditioning duct insulation is not intended for auto tranny
insulations. First duct insul. will not stand up to the weather, second
the glue is for duct work. and will not stand up to heat. When the
correct material and glue is used these products work very well, as they
have for the past 35 years in these cars. Try it again I think you will
like the results, cars are a lot cooler and quieter running
