The transmission went out in my dad's car Wednesday and it's not really worth putting a new trans in or rebuiliding it so he's going to buy the car off us I just bought my wife back in May and she is getting a SUV. So since thursday I've been on the hunt for a new can and haven't had much time to work on mine till today but now it's getting close to mating the two halfs together. I had a rockwell oscillating tool from a previous project with a scraper blade on it and it works surprisingly well. I'd say with some acetone, kerosene and/or a grinder the rest will come off what the scrapper won't get.
