(ET) Tranny repairs

[ThompsonG DFO-MPO GC CA]

        Hi 
        I'll pass this tip along it from one the real old timers in the
Wheelhorse group, They are always playing and fixing transmissions. 

        Whenever you remove a transmission for repairs.
1.)     Drain the oil.
2.)     While it out refill it with kerosene
3.)     Then for the next week every time you walk by it give the drive
pully ½ a turn.
        When you get to fixing it, drain and crack it. Remove any residual
crud with a clean cloth, and you are  make repairs to the nice clean
workings.

        This works and it is way better than dealing with freshly drained
tranny there just no dirty oil to deal with.
