Default Transmission Case cleaning

So while I am waiting to get engine refreshed, wanted to tackle cleaning transmission what is best to get old crud and grease off of case, and to clean engine bay with engine removed?

I used CRC Brakleen (green can) brake parts cleaner, soft brisle brush, and then final wipe down with Simple Green. Seemed to work pretty good for me. Dawn dish washing liquid is a pretty good degreaser also.
