sticky bizz

[matthewai]

hi everyone, i have a prob its very annoying. i have an a/t and the other day my friend had a red bull explosion. most was easy to clean but some spilled into where the shifter rod is and those thin plastic black pieces now are sticking and im afraid they might fold under and get stuck in the tight space. i tried to clean it but its still messed up. does anyone have any other tips?
a side note, on the same night but a seperate incident i hit a massive pot hole the hubcap flew off (which i retrieved) the drivers side front wheel is now slighty bent. it hasnt lost air and still drives straight. should i be worried? i know eventually ill have to do something but still
