Transmission All Cleaned Up

When I started, the transmission was black from bellhousing to tailshaft due to the massive oil leak where the previous owner attempted to modify the oil pan. He also drove on a lot of dirt roads leaving an oil and dirt cake more than 1/2" thick in places.

Once I cleared that away, which was a very tedious process, it revealed the the blue paint that covered everything, including fitting, linkages and fasteners. I decided that so long as the trans was out I might as well make it look nice.

Once again, a very tedious process. But after I repainted the trans to look like a factory CJ trans, it made the effort all seem worth while.
