Good morning. The 901 on my project has already been removed from the car. I need to open it up to replace the 2nd gear synchro and it obviously needs to be clear clean clean before I do that.
Is it safe to pressure wash the exterior case so long as I don’t spray where the input shaft is? And been there / cleaned that tips to share? Thanks! |

I use mineral spirits or naphtha and a small tray. I use a small bristle brush with the bristles cut short. Putty knife and small scrapers to get into cracks. I don't use brake cleaner in spray cans as much because I hate the spray coming back in my face. It also drys a little too fast. It works good as a last cleaner
