    Mr Muscle oven cleaner!! Spray it on and leave it for a little while, agitate with a brush then wash off.

    Hmmm, yeah the caustic soda works very well. The bellhousing would be alright but isn't some of the gearbox cast aluminium?

    Flag that! I just bought some Chemtech CT14 HD degreaser today and it's sodium hydroxide (caustic soda) and alkaline salts. Says it's okay for aluminium, 83g per litre concentrate must be safe.
