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 used this stuff:
https://www.lowes.com/pd/Crown-128-fl-oz-Se...Remover/3024382 I brushed it on, let it soak and then pressure-washed the outside. It took me 6 times before I got everything off. I also chipped off the heavy deposits with a chisel, used a wire brush (hand and on a drill) and got in the nooks and crannies with a pick. I did mine in a dirt area in my backyard. Then I scooped up the dirty dirt and put it in the trash. |
