weld on a new plate to cover it up but I would recommend replacing the whole case/tranny.

GdmLaz

you can get it welded but it will cost you like $50 or more. 5spd swap?

make sure that you don't run low on fluid because your tranny will be toast.

You're best bet is to have an actuall plate welded on like B2FiNiTY said. And still then that won't hold it forever.

GdmLaz

im spraying it so i don't wanna make it stick @ least not for now... plus this tranny has a torque converter so it shifts pretty much like stick

GdmLaz

so basically theres nothing that i could myself to cover this up My best chance is to go get it weld

When I tore the bottom out of my sunfire's transmission (hitting same thing you did) I just got a new plate bolted on. I got real lucky and there was minimal damage to the top part of the case. I don't know how civic auto tranny's work, but just thought I'd share.

GdmLaz

wut do u mean new plate bolted on?

GdmLaz

I need anyother suggestions im plannin on trying to get this resolved 2morrow

oncde again I don't know how honda auto tranny's are put together but my sunfire had like the following. Imagine an upside down tupperware bowl. That's what houses the transmission. Then it had a gasket, followed by a new plate, which is the lid.

A picture is worth 1000 words.

edit: (forgot to add this in picture). Above that lip, the tranny was virtually untouched. Had it been half an inch higher, the tranny would have been ripped from my car. Don't know how it was in your situation. I lost all my tranny fluid in about 5 minutes after the accident.

Go and find out what you hit, and who owns it. If it was in traffic lanes, the owner is generally liable for repairs.

so it was just the pan that was torn??
