You wanna be careful there.

Brake cleaner works so well people use it for all manner of general purpose stuff.

Problem with it is if it heats up to the point where it's smoking what you've now got is Phosgene.

Phosgene is WWl era chemical warfare ****.

You don't want to breath that in so until you know what you are dealing with take precautions.
Hard to find chlorinated brake cleaner AFAIK. I have never once seen a can for sale in 15 years. That's actually a little see time than when I was first informed.

AFA the Probe goes, I didn't know shift cables had oil in them, of if they were supposed to. What fittings are above the bellhousing?
