I'm sure I am not the only one who has cleaned a few pounds of grease off their transmission. Have new flywheel etc., just wondering if anyone has a relatively easy way to make the transmission look presentable, it doesn't have to gleam like it has been chromed but nicer than the dullness I have now would be good!

Well now, mine may be an extreme approach, but remember my transmission was painted, twice, first red and then black on top of the red. The paint and grime had to come off. I used brake parts cleaner, lots and lots of it and a cleaning wheel on drill. Then I kinda polished it ( really just cleaned better ) using lots and lots of steel wool, very coarse grade.
