My raggedy old parts washer hasn't been used in 14 years. We resurrected it for this job. Greg (owner of the transmission) had an old 5 gallon can of kerosene that he donated to the cause.
A good scrubbing got the planetary gear sets looking great. Now we need to do something about that valve body.







I'm afraid to open the OD unit. Is the goo in the splines a good indication of what we're going to find or did the tight fit keep most of the solids out?



Look at the servo spring in the background.
