I have an old Safety Clean bench top parts washer that's been with me for probably 30 years now. It's one of the old ones that the bottom reservoir comes off and the Safety Clean guy would swap out with you.
I picked up a transmission last weekend to flip and decided to clean it up a little before posting it on CL.
Did a little research on what people are using in their parts washers and found a number of things, most of them $15 to $25 or more per gallon. Then I ran across a single posting on this Zep degreaser.
I picked up 2 gallons of is for $9 each and put them in my parts washer. I didn't want to buy more in case it didn't work, figured 2 gallons would be good to test with.
I started running this stuff over a 25 year old trans with at least 1/4" or more of grease all over it and the grease just started to literally melt away. With a little effort using a parts brush the trans looks almost like it's been rebuilt. And when I went to wash up I didn't even need soap on my hands. Just rinsed right off and left my hands feeling kind of silky smooth.
I'm going to go back and get 3 more gallons of his stuff it works so well.
