A thousand words

That's what they say a picture is worth. I figured I'd post some notables that I haven't had corresponding copy for, but really show progress or at least items of interest. This is the trans, before and after 150*F hot water @ 1200PSI. I barely had to use soap.

BEFORE: An enormous amount of road grime, caked on, this trans has never been cleaned. Ever.

AFTER: The pressure washer was quite convincing. I'm going to recoat with a preservative to keep
the aluminum body from corroding, but it is just a light coat. In the mean time, the trans
is now ready to go back in, since the necessary work on the shifter linkage is done.
