Brake cleaner is what I use.

I recently used some oven cleaner and let it sit overnight. Holy shit, that stuff worked great.

Simple Green or Purple Power concentrate and a nylon bristle brush

I figured brake cleaner ... its not petroleum based right, i could clean a part, tac and paint ?

Ive used that too, but I quickly sprayed it down with a pressure washer.

If it's really dirty, you're going to spend a lot of money on brake cleaner. If you want something in a can that will actually cut the grease, hit it with Berryman's.

I use denatured alcohol to clean residue before painting. But not to clean the grime. A tool for every job IMO

True... think about how a trans looks. lots of grooves... whats the best approach in your opinion ?


I was gonna load it up and take it to the car wash.... What should i use as a pre-clean to break up the oil ?

I really need a steamer ..

Simple Green or Purple Power concentrate, then hit it with high pressure soap

Simple green and the car wash is what I do on big stuff.

If you clean the bell housing, watch out.

1 high pressure shot into the housing and you'll have a face full of shit.
