After 21,000 miles, the top right surface of the transaxle is covered in black grit from the clutch via the oblong hole on the right front side of the bell housing. It looks like hell, and can't be wiped off because the transaxle surface is not smooth. Is there a good way to remove it?
I am reluctant to wash the transaxle housing (even if I plug the bell housing breather hole) because of all the stuff (esp. electrical) lower down that will get soaked. Of course, I would remove the diffuser pan so all the wash liquid would drain onto the ground. Am I needlessly concerned about possible water damage or should I do nothing and just let it build up and be dirty?
Does anyone have a good way to clean this up?
Thanks!
