	Get the car warm, cover the gearbox in engine degreaser (Gunk or similar) let it soak in for a while. Cover all your electrics up with bags then steam clean. Repeat until clean! You could try a small stiff brush to work the degreaser in further if you can get to it! Good luck! :thumbs:

	i thought about steam clean, but last time took AGES to start car back up, as water got into all the sensors etc.
