After 3 hours on my back with a few inches to spare, I decided to call it 'pretty good'.
(Those are/were those nice blue paper towel shop rags.) (They look the same on both sides.)
I really had to psyche myself up for this job.
Drank a lot of strong coffee.
Lesson learned: when you do this type of work, your hands/nitrile gloves get rather dirty. Drinking all that coffee has its drawbacks. (You can figure that one out).
A good bit of the black on the transaxle was black paint. These must have been painted black at the factory?
Also, it's impossible to reach into all those closely spaced gearbox fins. A strong spray of water would clean in there.
