Most stop leaks products cause the seals in the tranny case joints to swell. Where is yours leaking? Are you SURE its transmission fluid?
There are a LOT of people on here that are going to blast you for even thinking about doing it BUT,,, (deep breath),,,, it probably wont hurt anything and if it helps fix the issue,,,,,,,you saved some cash and time.
The bad news is, its only a band aid and wont cue your issue. The seals get old and shrink which causes your joint leaks. Theres a front and rear seal and they mechanically wear down and leak. If you have a leak from the input shaft seals, stop leak usually wont help.
Good luck in your attempts to stop your leaks. If the stop leak doesn't work, just keep the leaks wiped up and the tranny full until you can fine the cash and tie to fix it correctly.
