I posted a few days ago about a mystery leak from my tranny. I found the leak, results are bad.

Turns out where that flat plate for the tranny mount goes, right above that on the back side, the tranny corroded and theres a crack!

Anyone have any advice(aside from a new tranny.) as to sealing this up? I tried some 3M metal epoxy, but it's still leaking. I can chisel all that shit off and try plan B, but i dont have a plan B yet.

Anyone?

Thanks.

Sand down surface a bit, and try JB weld. Worked on the aluminum fishing boat that got a few cracks in it. Hasnt leaked yet.

You could also take it to a welder, and have them weld up the crack. Probably the best fix besides replacing the case.

Buy a used tranny and be done with it

Thats the thing. I just had this all apart to do a clutch, so I'm in no hurry to tear it apart again.
