I managed to get the second transmission disassembled once I freed up the cluster gear. Lots of PBlaster and working it back and forth finally finally got it freed but then I discovered that the shaft's front roller bearing - the one that is inside the input shaft - was very stuck and no amount of PBlaster seemed to free it. Finally I resorted to a propane torch to heat it up which did the trick.
After only a few hours of work I was exhausted so came back to the house a little earlier than usual. I still need to remove the cluster gear itself and hope that enough oil had remained inside to protect the inner bearing surfaces. Probably not since it was stuck but one can hope!
Everything in the bottom was also covered with the white stuff but most came off when sprayed with carburetor cleaner.
