Just cleaned out a '46 H tranny. Drained the lions share of the old oil, then used about 3 gallons of diesel w/ about 1/2 gallon of gasoline mixed in. Engine doesn't run so I pulled it w/ a buddy for about 4 miles or so, then drained it. Had my buddy hold in the clutch and pulled it in gear for a bit to clean the sliding gears up too. Drained it, put another 3 gallons of just diesel in and pulled it another mile. I followed up by removing the cover and the inside was AWESOMELY clean. I flushed a small amount of stuff out, but it wouldn't have filled a spray paint can lid. Made it MUCH nicer to work on. Even the underside of the cover and the shifter rails were clean. Sure, I spent about $25 for diesel/gas, but it was well worth it. Saved the drainings in a five gallon bucket w/ a lid and the heavy stuff settles out. Drain off the remainder and it makes a decent parts cleaner for the really nasty greasy stuff til its too greasy to use anymore. Then it's destined for brushpile burning.
