What is the best way to clean up my trans. I believe the case is magnesium is there a cleaning agent that I should stay away from?
Once it is clean what should I use to protect the trans and help keep it clean? Thanks David |

I use "Awsome" from the $ store! Works great!
Just spray it on, scrub it a bit, let it sit for a while and pressure wash it off....repeat! |
