I need to have my trans case cleaned. Can someone recommend a shop in Portland (or the outlying areas) that specializes in cleaning and treating mag cases? I want a professional to do it, as I'd probably make a mistake and damage it in some way.
Thanks, Greg |

If it’s a bare case, find someone with a hot steam pressure washer. Takes 5-10 minutes and gets it clean without chemicals. The steam melts off the tar, undercoating and oil and the pressure gets all the nooks and crannies clean. If you were around me, I’d do it for the cost of a cheap tyvek suit - $10. It makes a bit of a mess.
Then I would just hose it down with Gibbs or ACF-50 |

There is no pitting so I'd like to remove the oxidation. Some have suggested soda blasting? Will a hot tank clean the oxidation off? I'm going to pull all the studs this weekend and get them ready to be re-plated. Greg Attached image(s)
