    First off, stop leak sucks and can cause more problems down the road. Don't use it.

    And yes, it is very possible that the gaskets are your problem. I would get them changed ASAP before you ruin your entire engine.

    ok heres the update, i changed the gaskets and its changing gears now but not to good, its stalls and im begining to think that this is a problem with the coolant system, remember before i said when it stopped changing gears that i had smelled coolant prior, well there is a LOT of pressure in the system for some reason, the end of the hose that connects to the thermostat housing looks like a like a baseball after i drive a while so i know i will be needing to change that hose but what in the world could be causing all that pressure to build up,do you think the stop leak blocked something that it wasnt supposed to, or could it be something dealing with my pcv valve or vacumm tube
