Default Garage floor mess,it cleaned up!

I wanted to give a report on Orchard supply concrete stain, it worked. Last night while pulling the motor and trans from my hot rod, the tail shaft was real low to clear the tunnel, seemed like gallons of tranny fluid dumped out, then power steering fluid. I'm not kidding,it was a 5'x 8' puddle, so I grabbed the kitty litter(clumping style fresh scent),ended up needing 3-14lb bags. Anyway, the mess sat overnight soaking up. Cleaned up the litter,used a mop with detergent and cleaned the floor. No oil soaked in, the sealed concrete stain worked great and now the garage smells litter fresh!

Leaky tranny fluid is my biggest PITA. That's a good excuse to swap to 4-Speed.

Take a yoke from an old drive shaft and leave it stuck in the back of the tranny when you pull it.
