I'm pulling the trans for the new clutch install, etc. and I'd like to clean all of the black (tar?) gunk off of my transmission. What are the recommendations here? Dip it? Degreaser and manpower? I'm doing new cable, fluid too, so.....?
Ideas? Experience? Is my tranny supposed to have all that black shit all over it? |

Don't use EZ OFF on Aluminum or Magnesium. . it eats into the surface and causes pits and dark discoloration. . l. .
Gasoline works great for the heavy deposits, over a drip pan, and out in the driveway in pleanty of fresh air. . use a water soluble cleaner for the final cleaning so you can wash it off with soap and water and a hose. . |
