Can I JB-WELD my tranny?
I bought a crack tranny from a member on honda-tech. I was gonna just use the internal, but I want to see if I can use JB-WELD to weld up the tranny. It'll be much easier then swapping the internal. What do you guy think?

why dont you try and then tell us if it worked? As long as the tranny isn't used to put a car in motion, i dont see how it could harm anything

i hate to say this but i have a gsr tranny in my car that has jd weld on some cracks. i didnt know it till i got under the car to change my shifter bushings that i saw 3 fairly long cracks with jb weld on them. i bought the car with the swap so i had no idea and the owner convienently *forgot* to tell me. 
surprisingly it's held up despite a few runs down the strip. i used to drive the car everyday, but now it's just sitting in the driveway due to other reasons.

Re: Can I JB-WELD my tranny? (Nameless Warrior)
It mainly depends on where it is cracked.
If it's cracked on the bell housing you could probably get away with some JB Weld but why would you even need to JB Weld the bell housing. As for the case, it really depends on where the case is cracked. Do you have pix of the tranny?
I had a buddy that JB Welded the case on a YS1 tranny for his LS swap in an EG sedan and he didn't have any problems with it.

I've got 2.5 years of aluminum Tig welding experience and 1.5 years of trans building experience.
This babble is worthless until you can get us pictures so we can see what we're dealing with here.

It's probably better in the long run to just swap the tranny casings than weld it. If it's on the bottom it will crack again and more money will be needed to get it welded.
