Got my new (used) side shift tranny. Not interested in painting, but would like it to at least look a little more presentable. I have already done the Engine Brite route, and got the majority of the junk off.

What else has worked for you guys?

thx

I have used concentrated Simple Green in hot, hot water with moderate success. Then I discovered turpentine. It works better than , engine brite, acetone, paint thinner and alchohol. It really cuts through that nasty 10 year old road grime, and leave the part clean. It doesn't smear. Brake parts cleaner is too $$$ and volatile.

BTW. Is there an official term for the oil/sand goo that accumulates in the webbing of transmissions? My car was such a leaker that some of those holes were 1/2 full of goo.
