    Default Leaking Transmission.. help

    my old car has a leaking transmission. i took a look at it today and one of the bolts that goes through the tranny was tightened too much or something and there is a small crack starting from the hole. anyone know of a shop where i can get this welded or any better options? i really dont want to get a new transmision if that can be avoided. btw the car is automatic. reps for help

    well if it is easy to get to, not to much. hard to get to, a lil more. the also have to make sure that the area was clean.

    Telling ya, JB weld or some epoxy, if it's just a hairline crack or something. Cheap and holds fine.

    Dont use the pack that uses the red tube an black tube JB weld it takes to long to dry! like 15hours-24 hours to cure

    Use the pack that includes 2 tubes one orange,an one blue tube this pack will dry in about 45mins cured!

    You can not weld that crack with any type of fluid leaking out. You'll have to take the trans out, turn it upside down, and then clean the crack so no oil residue is anywhere near it. When you heat it during a weld, it will draw the fluid out of the crack contaminating the weld.

    As said, JB weld.
