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.

NO!
Forget the media you are using for a second... Where is all the debris that is on the tranny going? Never use an abrasive on a tranny....its just not sealed well enough to guarantee it wont get in or force something in. When I clean a case, Its empty. Rich |

Rich Look guys, don't make this a place where someone is afraid of asking questions. Plenty of you have responded with vague, NO NOT HERE type of responses without providing any real reasons. All I've been trying to understand is how the media might contaminate the transmission. I like to try to solve problems which is why I have been persistently asking for the "how". (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) This has always been an open forum, a guy shouldn't get ridiculed or kicked in the teeth for challenging an opinion that's not backed up with some sort of reasoning. I do appreciate your feedback, the sarcasm and ridicule; not so much. Apparently it's forbidden to ask for an explanation here so as I said a few posts back, nevermind. I'm done, no need to provide any additional eyerolls, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) looks. I'll leave the paint on. Thanks, and to those I've wasted your time; I do appologize. Kev |
