I have pulled my transaxle and I am going to change all of the seals and do a first gear job on it. I was thinking of painting it while out and clean.
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) Should I or shouldn't I? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) If I should do I need to use a high heat engine paint because of the close proximity to the exhaust? Thanks, Pete |

On a similar note, my magnesium 915 tranny looks like it sat outside near the ocean for about 1/2 of it's life. The input shaft and output flanges have a good coating of rust on them and the case has a "patina" that makes it look dull and grey. I'm worried that the input shaft may have to be replaced as the splines might be damaged. Is this a legitimate concern? Can the transmission case, flanges and input shaft be media blasted?
