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!

I know I posted this somewhere, maybe on Pelican. The best degreaser on the planet is M.E.K ( Methyl ethyl ketone) or as we put it Methyl Ethyl Badshit. You can get it at Lowes and or Home Depot. I strongly suggest using chemical gloves folks as this shit can kill you. I also suggest not using it unless you are outside and in a good supply of air. Did I mention it can kill you?...
This will also clean up the most stubborn grease or oil on your concrete. Just pour and then "dab" with old cotton shirt. Stains magically go away once it evaporates. |
