That's some mess!
EZ Off and a hose. Tape off the input shaft with plastic, don't let the EZ Off sit on there too long.
I did that to mine:

Wow. Wondering what the equivalent cleaner would be for us.

Oven cleaner supposedly works great, too. Is this from a leaking rear main seal, or is it all clutch detritis?
A lot of that is clutch debris, the concerning part is the oily sheen in there. Yeah, I think the rear main seal is weeping or leaking.
Can't believe I never realized how awesome a scotch brite pad is for "cleaning" your intake manifold and valve cover. Just started...will update when "good enough." . Engine bay cleaning is so therapeutic.
Bored, so I drove up to Robbinsville. Eating lunch, right now, at Lynns Place. Going to do some driving. HMU.
Left around 9:30a, got home about 6p. The scattered showers were heavy at times, which I think lightened traffic. I had pretty clear roads, manageable traffic.
I LOVE these Continental ExtremeContact Sports! So quiet, grippy, and great in the rain. Awesome value, for sure.
Drove up via GA 17 to Hwy 64 to US129. They paved 129 near Andrews and its buttah smooooth! They are installing new buttresses on 129 on the way into Robbinsville, so its partially one lane with a stop light to direct opposing traffic.
Lovely scenery, saw a group of exotic cars on a rally, they seemed more interested in posing for pics on the Dragon than driving it, I shot them some heel-toe revs as I approached to assert my dominance in the hair dressers car. They were shocked, I know it. ;)
I followed a pair of Mustang Cobra 350s out of the Fontana, the roads were wet and they let me pass.
I did Hwy 28, the Dragon, the drive past the Tapoco (the exotics were staying there apparently), and 129. I took 19 back over the border into GA and took Blood Mountain. I stopped at the top to look over the valley and watch the hikers make their way through the Appalachian Trail. All in all a very nice day! Pictures are chronological...

Yeah. I had to think while I was there if I had driven this NB out there. It was the first time.
I thought about stopping at one of the killboy tents, supposedly this car was previously owned by one of their photographers. I was going to see if I could confirm it and maybe get more history on the car.
I just decided not to bother them while they were working and just enjoy the drive.

Beautiful photos, Steven, thanks for sharing!
I changed out the oil in my trans today for Redline...Smoother shifts all around!
Ordered a 23mm so I can do the diff next.
