Thanks for all the responses about the best way to clean up the aluminum
housing on the Toyota 5 speed I've got. My intent was to get it clean
enough for handling without the need for latex gloves and a hazmat suit. As
a few of you pointed out, if it's not a concours car why get it nice and
shiny? So I decided to try a coarse wire wheel on my drill along with a
narrow putty knife and some brake cleaner. The wire wheel removed 90% of the
crude and the brake cleaner and putty knife the remainder. The wire wheel
also made it pretty shiny too. It took about 3 hours but I can now handle it
without looking like I've been rolling around in a grease pit.
Thanks again
