As I've mentioned in the last few weeks, my transmission and undercarriage has a lot of 'protective coating' on it. I had planned on taking it to the car wash and removing what I could, then spraying Gunk, waiting, and then doing a second wash. I currently have the access panel (around the floor shifter) removed so I could do a pretty good job.

Question is, this will expose the gaskets etc. more, maybe allowing more contaminants. Since I won't be removing the trans any time soon, whould I be better off just leaving it as-is or should I clean it.

you might find you need to do more scrapeing than spraying, and makes better use of the Gunk if you scrape the heavy stuff of before you use it - once it's cleaned up you can see if theres any gaskets weeping, but there won't be a problem w/ stuff getting inside - best too if you get that heavy stuff off b4 you get to the carwash, as most take a dim view of plugging their drains w/ 'toxic waste'! grin
