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 |

I recently had it out of my car and used a fine wire brush (got it at Home Depot for about $5) that attahes to the end of a drill. I used one that was shaped liek an upside down cone to hit the larger areas and one that was flat to get into the edges with.
Since my engine had received a "sonic bath" while it was beiing rebuilt, causing the case and heads to look "polihsed" (like chrome), I figured I needed a shiny trans as well. Like the guys said, it won't polish up like aluminum, but it does get a nice shiny luster to it if you work on it. |
