Crack in S4C transmission case
Well, I had an accident in January, and I think it may have caused it. Small stress fractures are pretty common in these Aluminum cases since there are hundreds of unrelieved stress risers all over the casting, but this one is on a relatively flat plane just under the transmission mount, and it's big enough for some fluid to seep through after a short drive as it gets flung around by the gears.
Wheel hop got better but never went away entirely after the motor mount inserts and Quaife but the tranny didn't leak before the accident. A
nyone had experience with this kind of thing? Should I be trying to get a new case or transmission out of the deal? I hesitate to just slap some JB Weld on there.
Thanks
