I wasn't thinking sand blasting!
I media blasted the ring gear with glass shot, removed the rust, did not damage the mating surface(s).
I'll post pictures of the ring gear now but I'm having trouble getting the pinion out of the support. Need to put some heat to it to the pinion flange. I had it in my 25 ton Dake press with 20 tons on it and it will not budge.
Transmission is installed, found a shifter for it and had the rod powder coated semi-gloss black. Looks like I may need to move the boot hole back 1" or so or maybe bend the rod (of course after I had it coated I discover this).
