  4. Design Flaw? • The usage of Walnut Grit to clean the transmission. • The failure of the Input Pinion Capsule was caused by walnut grit blocking the lubricating oil journals inside the transmission. • Walnut grit was successfully used as an effective cleaning agent for the transmissions during the overhaul process. It is softer than the base metal, but harder than the contaminants that accrue inside the transmission
