Ive got hairline crack about 1-2 mm wide and maybe 1/4 of an inch maybe on my wifes Auto. tranny near a bend near a bolt hole.will JB weld hold this if completly dried?

Also is there another brand like JB Weld thats stronger or longer lasting?I know this isnt the way to do it but need a quick fix that will last a month or so until some money can be saved up.

Thanks

 

i will say yes, my firend did it to his si tranny. 1 or 2 inch hairline long crack. has been holding for several several months now.

 

Thats good.But where was the crack?

Being where my crack is (<U>No pun</U>) isnt it in a position for more stress?

 

Do not bother with the JB weld, it will only make a future, proper fix more difficult.

 

JB weld wont hold a crack from speading, because its not welding, its just a glue.

 

if its a low stress area, jsut make sure u clean the area well and it should hold fine

 

I'd have it tigged, vibration does wonders to cracks.

 

tig welding would be your best bet for longevity and strength.

ive seen oil pans jb welded and they hold up just fine.
