Good morning. The 901 on my project has already been removed from the car. I need to open it up to replace the 2nd gear synchro and it obviously needs to be clear clean clean before I do that.

Is it safe to pressure wash the exterior case so long as I don’t spray where the input shaft is?

And been there / cleaned that tips to share?

Thanks!
