I need the bell housing of my transmission cleaned, or something. I just want it to look fresh like everything else on the car. I almost contemplated buying a new trans but that would be too much money, so getting this one cleaned is the only option. Does any shop provide that type of service? or is it something I can do with just a powerwasher? I dont even know it that would ruin anything hahaa. LMK

I would say a big tub and some mineral spirits and maybe some scrubbing with soap and water and a pressure washer.

eh.. i wouldnt power wash it... id let some degreaser soak on it and then scrub it with a sponge.. just be careful of sensors.

Personally I would tape off any sensor locations and try that to start and see where that gets you.

Or at least a garden hose if not a pressure washer.

im sure brake cleaner or carb cleaner which is a bit stronger i believe should clean it up a bit. Just some elbow grease time and patience and it should clean up nicely
