What to do to protect a transmission case after cleaning has been a recurring topic over the years. Originally the transmission were covered with a 'cosmoline' like product which is a mix of wax and oil to protect the metal from corrosion. These products are still available and some people are recoating trans cases with this stuff to good success.
But that coating remains sticky/tacky over time. I don't like that. So I've been trying to go the epoxy primer route. These primers form a chemically hardened coating that'll last for years, isn't sticky, and looks great. This blend of epoxy primer I used on the latest 915 transmission build is pretty much perfect color match and what I'm calling Magnesium Grey. The idea was to coat the case with something that essentially looks as close as possible to bare, oxidized magnesium. The only problem with it, is that they can't mix anything less than a gallon. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) So anybody need their transmission case painted? I'd love to run through this gallon ASAP.  |
