whats the best way to clean the the tranny in and out.
i currently have the tranny out on the floor.
doing engine work and the engine is at the shop.
since i have the tranny out i thought this might be a good time to clean the thing.
i spraying engine degreaser on the outside and in the bell housing area. anything else i should to do some maintenance since i have it out?
not sure if i need to regrease anything either.
its a 91 wagon 4wd tranny.

use a pressure washer on the outside of the tranny, it will make the aluminum sparkle
pretty sure nothing has to be really lubed up either...
yup oil is drained as it needed to be removed prior to taking out the axles.
i forgot which bolt is the refiller. i found the drainer easily but the refiller bolt eludes me while its at a different angle all alone on the floor.
Use high temp grease on the shaft with the splines. and on the throwout bearing. Do not use brake cleaner on the throwout bearing.
oh crap. i did use brake cleaner as that was the only thing i had at the time. it was the only strongest thing i had on hand.
i didnt really concentrate it on that but just everywhere as there was crud on everything.
hmmm i like the word 'crud'. sounds fun 'crudduuuuullllouuussss' hahaha
oh well..
what do i do now about the throw out bearing?
did i damage it from no return?
is there a way to fix it?
the tranny will be off for about a week or so more
Most people pulling tranies back off from recently doing a tranny/clutch job have to do so because of a bad/not lubed properly throwout bearing.
It's a $20-$50.00 part that could save you a full day's worth of trouble having to repull it and still buy another throwout bearing anyways.
this one came with the exedy clutch i got in there only about 10 months ago.
so it isnt really old or even used much yet.
what is the proper way of greasing it up?

Read my posting(It's the 2nd 1).
the part number i need is 22810-ph8-008.
i was curious if the exedy clutch i got came with the correct throwout bearing?
the reason i say this is because they didnt have a clutch that was wagon specific.

^^^^What he said!!
To clean mine, I used degreaser to get the big chunks and most of the grime. Too shine it up I use Eagleone etching aluminum mag cleaner. It works awesome on trannies and blocks, just dont breath in the fumes. It will burn/singe your lungs and that hurts.

is this what you used?
because it said "Not for use on clear-coated or polished aluminum wheels"
and the tranny is aluminum.
That is what you need to clean any auotomive parts!
Apply with a spray bottle let it soak for 10 min aplly lil more and rinse it with water thoroughly...
Will sparkle like new!
Cheers!
that link shows many products.
I have every bolt of the engine, but it's still stuck together down there.
Where the rear drive shaft bolts up, that housing that covers part of that inspection cover, do I remove that as well? I took one bolt out and oil started spurting out so I put it back in real quick. but now that the trans is sitting sidways in the engine bay, all the oil as already poured out, onto my floor.
So How do I get the tranny off the goddam engine!
