I'm pulling the trans for the new clutch install, etc. and I'd like to clean all of the black (tar?) gunk off of my transmission. What are the recommendations here? Dip it? Degreaser and manpower? I'm doing new cable, fluid too, so.....?
Ideas? Experience? Is my tranny supposed to have all that black shit all over it? |

I wouldn't use "any" of that stuff without testing it on "magnesium".
Engine and oven degreasers will pit the mag almost instantly. Google is a great tool. Check for ways to clean magnesium. Gots ta be careful. |
