post a pic. if its on the bell housing you can just mickey mouse a fiberglass patch and you will be fine. you only need it to prevent debris from entering the bell housing.

the hole is on the bottom of the trans...where the hole is i can see the teeth to my clutch/flywheel???

yah your fine, just jimmy rig a patch so crap doesnt get in there. fiberglass , duct tape lol.... whatever works is fine. theres no danger of like fluid leak or anything so dont stress over it, its even mildly driveable as is, you would just chance getting debris in the clutch or flywheel and causing damage. i would buy a fiberglass kit from autozone and patch it up lol.... but then again some call me a hack, but then again, you are a struggling college student?

there is also fluid around it...soo just clean it off good and rig myself a patch???

hannslebo

sorry fellas...no fluid is leaking from my hole in trans...its coming from my master clutch cyl. around the rubber boot...any suggestions on a cheap fix for that as well..ha

That's the clutch slave cylinder, not the master cylinder.

NAPA sells them for about $22. Cheap easy fix.

thanks for the quick help guys...and will i need to bleed the slave cyl. or just put it right on???

Install it and bleed the entire clutch line, no big deal really.

Don't use Duck Tape as a patch. It has it's uses, but it's only a temporary fix and won't hold up well to heat or petroleum. Fiberglass may work. What about JB Weld or Loctite Weld and a piece of soup can or something as a patch? You can get JB Weld and the Loctite stuff for like $5 at someplace like Home Depot or maybe even Walmart.
