Hi all,

I just got my transmission separated from the transfer case and got to take a good look at it. My jeep was parked for many years, and it appears that the gasket on the top didn't do a great job keeping the moisture out because there is a fair amount of rust in there. However, it seems like I can chip the rust off of the gears fairly easily. I have never taken a transmission (or anything like it) apart and I have no baseline on whether or not the gears are too far gone to restore and clean or what I should replace. My grandfather doesn't recall there being any issues with the transmission when it was parked, so I am under the impression that everything is in good shape besides the rust. I have a picture of the inside (viewer discretion advised). Any tips on removing the rust without damaging anything?

Any advise would be appreciated! Thanks!
