I recently pulled apart my '59 Ural M-72 motorcycle transmission to fix a pretty bad leak (was missing an o-ring). There is quite a bit of sludge build-up on the bottom, and I was wondering what is the best way to go about cleaning and re-lubing the transmission before I reassemble? I have several varieties of degreaser, but I am worried about the rubber seals and bearings that are already in there. I would like to find the easiest way to quickly clean it, without having to dismantle it completely (ie remove the currently working and unobtainable seals, and removing the bearings).

Would it be safe to use a degreaser and then just lube everything up with gear oil before I reassemble? Would it be safer to not worry about cleaning it for now (rest of internals are fairly clean)?

Inquiring newbie minds want to know! Thanks for any suggestions.
