QUOTE(Steve73 @ Aug 11 2012, 11:24 PM)  What about painting it with Silver caliper paint. It's designed for high heat and is "chemical" resistant. Pefectly good idea (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

When I did mine, I first soaked it real good with WD-40 all over the stinkin thing for a couple days. I mean SOAKED it. Figured I was hydrating all that other oil and grease that had somewhat dried.
THEN...I used degreaser and the pressure washer just before the tranny rebuild. Cleaned up really easy. Not sure if because of the WD-40 or not. If I have to clean a part, I usually think if I can make it worse first...I feel better about how clean I get it. A true WIN/WIN. Tranny came out looking great. Sounds like everyone has their own fetish on how to handle their tranny's. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/grouphug.gif) |

QUOTE(Jeffs9146 @ Mar 22 2012, 03:53 PM) I use "Awsome" from the $ store! Works great! Just spray it on, scrub it a bit, let it sit for a while and pressure wash it off....repeat! I second Jeff. he gave me a bottle of this stuff , and i went to the car wash and took 35 years of crusty grime off in 10 minutes! Wear clothes you don't care about though!! |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/grouphug.gif) Not sure if it is the right way to go or not, but i find WD40 to be a great cleaner for just about everything and have used it on a couple boxes as well. |
