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! |

Steam cleaner. 210* hot water melts a lot of gunk off. Alternately you can use a pressure washer or take it to a DIY spray car wash. As others have said, tape up the seals and breather, I use aluminum duct tape.
After that foaming engine cleaner with an assortment of scrapers, then brake cleaner. Then re-tape and media blast with walnut shells. For a coating I use Dupli-Color spray hi-temp clear |
