Welding a cracked tranny case ?s
Well I managed to crack my tranny case last week.I purchased another one from a member on another forum and it to was cracked! so anyway I'm thinking about having the hairline cracked welded but had a about how long it will last or is it even worth it? I really don't have extra money to buy another transmission.
Thanks.

I snapped the whole rear mount off mine on my ZC. I dismantelled the entire Tranny, Degreased the **** out of it, took it to my neighbor (the BEST TIG Welder I have ever seen) and he welded it back together. Nothing like a 3" chunk of aluminum coming off with 3 bolt holes in it.

Is the tranny the same material as the block?
This is what I would like to know. Want to determine the Expansion Rate of the outer block.
