Regarding the transmission case cleaning, I started with engine cleaner and a high-pressure washer to get the major crap off before taking it apart. After separating the cases, I cleaned the grime off in my parts washer. Because of the deep crevasses, I ended up using a pick to get the oil grime out of the little corners. After all the oily crap was removed, it was media blasted (glass beads) then washed with copious amounts of soap and hot water and finally brake cleaner to ensure all media was removed from the passages.
Getting the cases clean turned into a bigger job that I thought it would be, but they turned out pretty nice. It will be a shame to hang it under the car where it will get filthy again, tho.
