Also a good idea to...
    Replace the seal or the gasket...
    that leaks the oil...
    that runs down the engine onto the transaxle or out of the transaxle 
itself...
    that makes the trans slimy...
    that helps dirt and grit stick to it...
which is what created the coating of schmudge to begin with.
    Fix the problem, not the symptom.
