To remove my clutch in my '46 GMC I had to drop the tranny (4spd.) Since it is out aside from rebuilding it what is the best way to clean all the years of old oil sludge, sediment and grime out of it? I thought maybe remove the shift tower with it drained and use a varsol sprayer to clean it out then new oil and install. Also by removing the shift tower am I creating any new problems that should be dealt with later. As always any advice is greatly appreciated.
