Yesterday I changed the tail shaft bushing and found, as a wise person noted in the 700/900 FAQS, the gasket is the toughest part of the job. Fact is I'd planned to do several other maintenance items in the time I wound up spending removing that gasket-- finding myself wishing I'd prepared to have some gasket remover on hand. That last little strip around the very top is tough!

So armed with my search engine, I found that gasket remover I'd never used has the same stuff as in the "aircraft paint stripper" -- methylene chloride, pretty nasty stuff I'd once used to strip two Corona wheels before deciding to leave the other two alone.

Question is, did I really miss out on a helpful time-saver? Is that stuff safe to spray all over the tranny insides and get it running down your arm as you peel the gasket remains off the top of the transmission?

Thank you all for the benefit of your experience!
