power washing my transmission - safe to do?

While it is out, I want to power-wash my transmission (from a 1982 300D). It is totally gross. Is it safe to do? Is there anything in particular I need to especially protect?

I was planning to

- dry scrub with a plastic spatula
- spray it with purple power
- let pp soak
- wash
- repeat
- dry using compressed air

the shaft in the front is shiny and I was going to wrap something around it... anything else?
