I recently had the fan housing cerakoted and now I want to do the transmission. On the fan housing I removed all the grease and oil and the shop that applied the cerakote blasted it withe 200 grit aluminium oxide in a cabinet and it came out great.
I will get all the grease and oil off the transmission, but the blasting will be done with 100 grit aluminum oxide outside of a cabinet. I believe I have protected everything but was a little concerned about 100 grit being to course.  |

I would only soda blast unless you intend to overhaul the trans after blasting.

QUOTE(mepstein @ Nov 28 2018, 08:58 PM)  I would only soda blast unless you intend to overhaul the trans after blasting. Because of getting into bearings on the drivers? I packed them with foam and wrapped tight with duck tape. I don't intend to overhaul trans. Thanks for help |
