I just cleaned my second transmission in recent times and I had limited success with brake and carb cleaners. I guess it depends on how dirty your transmission is, but I found that two things seemed to work well;
1. Screwdriver/sharp object. (this removes large quantities of built-up gunk and hardened material. I found on both transmissions that there was a LOT of crap built up that needed to be chipped away becuase it was nearly rock hard. 2. Castrol Super Clean with a toothbrush. Just spraying something on doesn't work well, because you are relyingon the chemical to dissolve the surface that it touches. By using a toothbrush you can scratch away the top layer quickly and it really goes many many times faster. If your transmission doesn't have 1/4 inch of caked on black gunk, go with brake cleaner, otherwise I reccomend the above. -Tony |
