Transmission cleaning

[pookie]

My transmission is nasty on the outside and nasty on the inside of the bell housing. What can I use to clean the outside? What can I use to clean the inside? Do I have to use brake clean or a carb cleaner on the inside?

The "while you are in theres" have already started :roll:

I would use kerosene. Not as toxic as brake kleen and cheaper too.

Greased lightning and a garden hose, and you have yet to scratch the surface of WYIT

High pressure sprayer. Don't aim directly at the seals. Be sure to wear black clothes ;-)

A toothbrush and some aluminum polish. Follow up with a dremel and polishing "bit". Two coats of wax after that. You'll never win the concours with a transmission that doesn't shine. :cool:

Full strength Simple Green and a brush has always worked well for me. Wash off with water from the hose in the driveway. :D

X2 except I'd use a HP washer. And run the rinse water through some rags just for the epa :p

Yeah I'm in WV, but I'm not from WV. I have all my teeth for one. I didn't marry my sister for two.

I use varsol. Spry it on, let it sit, brush off the heavy stuff, then spry it on again. Cheap. It is what we clean aircraft engines with before new exotic cleaner$ came into vogue.
Good use of the compressor too.
