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 |

Thanks I'm curious, why would you want to paint it? You DO realize that you're the owner of a vinyage car, right? So, why would you want to screw it's resale value by paint the tranny, which is nearly impossible to fully remove? I don't get it! Why paint? Why not clean it up with chem's/steam & let it re-oxidize to its proper shade? Apparently, I'm missing something here........ |
