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!

The book says use water sluble cleaners. If you are going to media blast it or grind it clean, you best paint it, as indicated above
