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.

the oven cleaner worked great but one time i left it on over night and teh case grew white fuzz. heat allways makes cleaning greasy grime easier.
