Out of the car the only tests you can make are the air checks (fair reliability). The other check is a complete disassembly and inspection.... followed by complete rebuild. In the car you can test pressures which give a good idea of the condition of the transmission. In order to clean the case you need to have all the insides out. or you are going to get dirt inside the transmission. Most oven cleaner contains lye - it will not only turn aluminum black it will disolve it. Not a good idea. Hot soapy water after a good scrub with solvent. Follow that with a good wipe-down with laquer thinner, dry and paint.
