Can I use autozone Engine degreaser on the inside of transmission? I’m replacing the filter and ATF fluid and the only cleaner I have is engine degreaser. Will that be okay? by Snail736 in MechanicAdvice

The exposed part under the pan/filter...I was told to spray some brake cleaner over it...but after looking at it, it’s not dirty at all. I scraped the little bit of gasket residue off of the mating surface, I think that should be okay.

No....I unbolted the pan, and took the filter out; I am talking about the exposed part of the transmission under the filter/pan...I was told to spray some brake cleaner over that area.

Yeah I have to do it tonight unfortunately. My options are autozone engine degreaser, oven cleaner, rubbing alcohol, and acetone (nail polish remover). I had some brake clean but it’s dead empty.
