Magnesium Corrosion
I have a Magnesium case five speed Jerico transmission in my Cobra, problem is minor but the magnesium case gets grey fluffy corrosion over it, been a wet winter here and the moisture content is up in my dry garage!
One thing I have done is put a light film of oil over the outside of the trans, and the internals have a bath of synthetic Castrol gear oil. Also I thought about using the yellow/green aircraft paint commonly used in the build of aircraft, or I could just leave it to go grey or black!
How do I slow down this corrosion, interested in hearing from anyone who has dealt with this material?
