Kerosene would be the easiest to come by and cheaper than most other solutions.

That shuld work just be sure work in the oil afterwrds and use 2 bottles of additive. The clutches are steel so cleaners are not going to harm them. The aftermarket fiber clutches are something else though. Unless you rebuilt it the past few years you have the steels.
