Thanks you!...
I don't like cleaning the parts either but even more I like when they're clean LOL..
It's really the name of the game in restoration. Sometimes I think about just opening a business with a parts cleaner and a sandblaster ....
Like I was saying there I got the transmission all looking good and cleaned up the shift lever and the output carrier and put them on and they looked out of place with the rest of the transmission. So I took them off and when I get to painting stuff I'll paint them and put the back on...
