Transmission case cleaning - 08/27/22 08:49 PM
I have a 727 that I plan on putting in my car this winter. Been cleaning it up as it was pretty dirty/greasy. I got most of the crud off with various cleaners, steel wool and Scotchbrite pads. I can't get in all of the little nooks and crannies though so I was thinking of hitting them with my hand-held sand blaster. Of course I will have all of the areas where sand could get in the trans. taped off. My question is, will the sand damage the aluminum? If so, maybe I could lower the air pressure to a safer level?. Also, is there a way to clean off some minor rust on the access cover that bolts on to the bottom front of the trans. that will not ruin the galvanized look it has?
