I just seperated the engine from the gearbox and wanted to clean the gearbox before replacing the seal and connecting it back to the engine. What do you suggest for cleaning off the 37 years of yuck? It's cold outside and I don't really want to be using the pressure washer, if that's a suggestion.

Whatever cleaner you use, use it in a WELL VENTILATED area. If that means freezing tour little tootsies off, so be it. Especially that purple Castrol stuff. Better cold than in the hospital with breathing issues, possibly long term ones.
