Default stress cracks in tranny. too much oil

if you have too much oil and or oil pressure in the tranny can it crack?
or do the cracks come from beating it up. stress cracks like skateboard by the trucks

No, too much oil will not cause cracks.

There is no Transmission fluid pressure in a manual transmission.

but when oil gets hot doesnt it create a gas(fumes, pressure)
then what can make a tranny crack like the bottom of a skateboard

Dropping it, hitting the ground, improper assembly.

Haha. This crap is sig worthy. Those lines that look like cracks are typically on the Honda missions from the castings. If you indeed do have a crack in the case, it was not from any pressure or gases or chili farts or atomic bombs, etc. If there is in deed a crack, take a picture of it and post it up. You are certain it is leaking from that area?

Casting marks. You'll know if it's a 'crack'.

they are NOT cracks. just casting flaws. if they bother you that much, sand them down a little bit so you cant see them, lol

I have the same lines all over my itr transmission case. I'm not sure if they are really cracks because I figured if there are that make cracks, it would have broken apart by now? Are these normal?

If it's a drip, I wouldn't be too worried. You can JB weld it or something. As stated before, honda trannies come with those marks
