Any tips/advice for cleaning the exterior of a transmission?
I scraped and got most of the obvious road dirt off it last night, but I'd love to paint this one after it gets back from Doc. Evil's GearBox Summer camp. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/351.gif) I am afraid to use a pressure washer for fear of water ingress, and obviously, the least amount of chemicals the better. Thanks |

I soaked mine in a degreaser I bought at Canadian Tire/Walmart rinsed it off and did the spots that needed it again and it came up pretty good. Don't forget to cover up the little vent hole. I think using a pressure washer or steamer is ok, just the back splash is real messy and sprays dirty oily greasy stuff everywhere!
