Cerma Automatic Ceramic Transmission Treatment

Cerma Automatic Ceramic Transmission Treatment — STM-3 Nano Silicon Carbide for Smoother Shifts & Longer Transmission Life

Cerma STM-3® Automatic Transmission Treatment is a one-time ceramic application that restores fast, smooth shifting and permanently protects your transmission against sludge, varnish buildup, and wear. The Nano Silicon Carbide (SiC) particles form a micro-ceramic coating on all metal parts inside your transmission — gears, clutch packs, valve body, and planetary gears.

One application. Permanent protection. No disassembly required.

✅ What Cerma Transmission Treatment Does

• Restores smooth, fast shifting — eliminates rough shifts, hesitation, and slippage
• Protects against sludge and varnish — SiC ceramic barrier prevents deposit buildup
• Eliminates seal leaks — conditions and restores transmission seals
• Extends fluid life up to 4x — cleaner internals mean fluid stays cleaner longer
• Reduces operating temperature — less friction means less heat (heat is the #1 transmission killer)
• Protects planetary gears — ceramic coating on all metal-on-metal contact surfaces
• Prevents hydrogen embrittlement — protects metal integrity at the molecular level
• Quieter operation — reduced gear noise and vibration

🔬 How STM-3 Technology Works in Your Transmission

Cerma STM-3® is not a fluid conditioner or friction modifier — it's a ceramic surface treatment. The Nano Silicon Carbide particles penetrate into the sub-surfaces of your transmission's metal components and create a permanent Silicon Carbide ceramic matrix.

SiC has a Mohs hardness of 9.5 (just below diamond) and a melting point of 2,730°C. Once bonded, this ceramic matrix creates an ultra-smooth, ultra-hard surface on every gear, bearing, and clutch plate — dramatically reducing friction, heat, and wear. The coating survives fluid changes because it's bonded to the metal, not suspended in the fluid.

Cerma STM-3® contains no solvents and no PTFE (Teflon). It is environmentally safe and will not harm seals, gaskets, or non-metal components.

📋 How to Apply

1. Check your transmission fluid level — ensure it's at the proper level
2. Add Cerma STM-3 Transmission Treatment — pour directly into the transmission dipstick tube or fill port
3. Drive normally — the SiC particles will bond to internal metal surfaces during normal driving
4. Enjoy permanent protection — the ceramic matrix is now part of your transmission. No reapplication needed

For best results, apply to a warm transmission. No fluid drain required — add directly to existing transmission fluid. Compatible with all automatic transmission fluid types (ATF).

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Is Cerma Transmission Treatment a one-time application?

Yes. The Nano Silicon Carbide particles permanently bond to your transmission's internal metal surfaces. The ceramic coating survives fluid changes — when you drain and replace transmission fluid, the SiC protection stays bonded to the metal. No reapplication is ever needed.

Will it fix rough or delayed shifting?

Many customers report significantly smoother and faster shifting after applying Cerma STM-3®. The ceramic coating reduces friction on clutch packs, valve body components, and planetary gears — which are the primary causes of rough, delayed, or hesitant shifts. Results are typically noticeable within the first 100–500 miles of driving.

Does it work with my transmission fluid type?

Yes. Cerma STM-3® is compatible with all automatic transmission fluid types — Dexron, Mercon, ATF+4, Type F, and synthetic ATF. The treatment bonds to metal, not fluid, so your fluid type doesn't affect the ceramic protection.

Can I use this on a CVT transmission?

Important: Cerma's warranty and money-back guarantee is not valid for CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) or SVT transmissions. CVTs use a belt/chain and pulley system that operates differently from traditional geared transmissions. If you're unsure of your transmission type, check your owner's manual or contact your dealer.

Do I need to drain my transmission fluid first?

No. Add Cerma STM-3® directly to your existing transmission fluid through the dipstick tube or fill port. No fluid drain or flush required. For best results, apply to a warm transmission after a short drive.

Which size do I need?

The 2oz bottle ($70.40) treats all standard car, truck, SUV, and van transmissions — both automatic and manual. The 6oz bottle ($193.60) is for semi trucks, large commercial vehicles, and motor homes with larger transmission capacities.

Will it void my transmission warranty?

Cerma STM-3® does not modify your transmission fluid — it treats the metal surfaces. Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, aftermarket products cannot void a manufacturer's warranty unless the product itself causes the damage. We recommend consulting your dealer if you have specific warranty concerns.

How long until I notice results?

Most drivers notice smoother shifting and reduced transmission noise within the first 100–500 miles of driving after application. Full ceramic bonding develops over the first 1,000–3,000 miles. The protection is permanent once bonded.
