Big difference. Brakeclean is a very fast evaporating cleaning liquid much like alcohol. It was designed to wash away brake dust without soaking into rubber seals and pads/shoes and damaging them. Carb cleaners evaporate much slower and do a better job at loosening/removing heavy deposits. Some carb cleaners will leave behind an oily film and are NOT to be used for cleaning brake drums/rotors. Carb cleaners will also swell rubber dust seals and ruin calipers and wheel cylinders. Gumout for example does not dry without residue. Berkibile 2 + 2 carb cleaner is among the best out there, far superior to the 99 cent per can budget varieties. It will dry without a film and remove the most stubborn of greasy deposits. Hope this helps some....Cliff

Thanks Cliff
I was told to use brake cleaner and not rags, towels, colths or any of the sort, so-as to not have any possible lint to clog a valve or filter, while re-building my tranny. Thanks, again Cliff. Now I know the difference. I assume both are safe to use around aluminum? |

Brake clean is perfect for cleaning transmissions during rebuilding. Washes out the debri and dries quickly. Neither one will hurt aluminum....Cliff

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
