Well my XJ with 350,000KM has a leaky transmission. Right where the plate mounts for the tranny mount, it's corroded and has a hairline crack(s), which leak incredible amounts for how small they are.
My question is, since the casing is cast aluminum, I know it can't be welded with a regular aluminum welder (I tried it anyway.)
I was told that tig welding can be done to cast, and I just so happen to know someone with the tools
Would it cause any damage to anything internal to be welding these cracks up? I just dont like the idea of JB weld...I know that shit just comes off after a while.
