Tranny Housing Crack
Can you use JB Weld on aluminum or should this be tig welded?

Re: Tranny Housing Crack
It should just be replaced.
It would cost more money to have it welded than to have it replaced. Unless you are joking, if so, you got me.

Re: Tranny Housing Crack
I don't think they sell JB Weld in 55 gal drums. At least not were I work at Lowes.
 JB weld is good stuff but not structurally strong enough for that job. The Tranny would have to be removed and squeezed together.. IMHO. we have enough problems with the stock tranny and that would not help.. REPLACE it with a 4:44 . Consider it an opportunity not a problem. Good luck

Re: Tranny Housing Crack
This isn't mine
I found it in the junk yard! Reminded me of the Alumaloy commercials. It must have sounded like hell when it happened

Re: Tranny Housing Crack
That's amazing. It's hard to fathom the force that it would take to have that effect on the casing.
