cleaning tranny case
Thursday, August 30, 2007 7:05 PM
i decided to keep the origonal engine trans axle set up on my re build

i would like to get my tansaxle looking like brand new before it goes back in, i sure dont want to just rattle can job it.

any advice on doing the job with out spending a load of cash,
would a good solvent and power wash do the trick?

Simple green, stiff toilet brushes, and if you want a little shine, scotchbrite it. If you want alot of shine, spend many many hours polishing it, that'd look damn good, and you would be among the few to do that.

You might replace that backup light switch too, they have a tendency to die, and they are pretty cheap for the most part.

Oven cleaner works pretty good at cleaning engines/trannys.
