Hey all,
As long as I'm making everything else nice and clean, any suggestions on the best way to clean up a tranny without taking it appart? Take it to the U-wash with a can of GUNK? Get it bead blasted? Looking for ideas that are simple. Thanks! -Josh2 |

All I know is them magnesium cases don't do well when exposed to salt water.
The Hurricane storm surge found both my extra 901 cases sitting on the bottom shelf OOPs just a bit too low. now I have 2 junk cases and an intermediate plate that wieghs about 2 oz. SO I would be careful of anything caustic or even remotely harmfull to magnesium |
