In this episode, I’m cleaning up decades worth of filth from the transmission, engine, and engine bay of the chassis and finally discover if my transmission is magnesium or aluminum.
1977 was the last year for the magnesium cased transmissions, but they had all the internal updates and beefier components of later versions, so they’re extremely desirable. For equipment, I was just using Gunk Engine Degreaser Gel, an assortment of wire brushes to agitate the crud, and a pressure washer.
Be sure to wear your PPE!

I used the pressure washer to clean up the splash guards on my SAAB after I fixed the transmission cooler leak. Even with no soap and my extremely lame pressure washer they came out pretty mint!

Electirc ones work okay but they always seem to die after a year or two.

Actually I’ve had this one over 10 years; it was given to me and I never liked it even when it was new. But even not caring for it at all (put away wet etc) it still works.
