First of all, the chances that Resline did any damage to your tranny are
probably 0.000000001%. (Never say never.) Your tranny was probably gonna
self destruct anyways.  
Its well known that using a senthetic tranny fluid or engine oil on a
high mileage powerplants can find the weak spots in all the seals and
will leak rather profusely on some cases. Thats just how synthetic fluids
work, but the advantages they give are completely worth the cost.

Right, I think that most everybody that has used synthetic fluids in the
tranny has has similar experiences.
