Valve Body Cleaning?
I have a 98 Dakota, 5.2, 4x4, 44re. I have no reverse and it is in limp mode. Ive dropped the pan and have a filter and sensors to replace. Theres metal sludge residue on the Valve Body and was wondering the best way to clean it without removing the vb. Should I use Brake Cleaner, Sensor cleaner? Please steer me in the right direction. Thanks

So do you think the loss of reverse and the sludge mean the tranny is gone. Both the front and rear bands are pretty loose but there was no chunks in the pan. The tranny was driven that way for almost a year from my understanding. I only reason I thought it was electronic/maintenance was because there is no slippage. I'd hate to scrap this thing

Ok, by sludge I meant fine metal oil residue. I was afraid to use any chemical to clean the fine metal residue off of the existing electronics on the vb. I just wanted as much advice from you experts before I complete the filter/solenoid change. Please feel free to school me if you have the time
