Got my project for the week...cleaning the transmission and transfer case. Little before/after pic, this is gonna take a while.
Anyway, the question:
Has anyone had any heat issues after painting the transmission, like the paint acting as a thermal insulator causing the tranny to overheat? I would like to throw some gloss paint on there to help keep dirt/mud from sticking, but not if it will be detrimental.

Paint won't stick to it either.

WD-40 works well too

I usually forget the trick until I'm already there, and I usually don't carry around cooking spray
