I was wondering if it would be safe to soda, bead or walnut shell blast my transmission whole if I taped off the vent and perhaps the part lines in the case as to not hit the seals? I have a newly rebuilt transmission I'd like to clean up without tearing back down again.

Truth be told, the DACO (Dumb Ass Current Owner) that'd be me rattle canned it. Instead of waiting for it to flake and drip off on my garage floor I'd like to undue the damage before it goes back into my car. I did use high temp paint... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

DAPO &/or DACO did that with paint on my used Fuchs 2L (former), & on body plates & labels on past repaints (both) on mine! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
