I just picked up a gsr from a friend for a good price. The bad, tranny case has about a 1 inch crack in it Ive read elsewhere that JB weld would fix it up. Has anyone tried that fix? Or any other suggestions.
Thanks

 

I used Qwik-Steel on mine, and then put a couple layers of JBWeld on top of it. I wouldn't recommend it as a permanent fix, I only used mine until I got my new trans.

Just make sure you prep it properly, sand it down, clean with Brakleen, and then let it dry, put on filler

 

wont the case from an LS fit?

 

depending on where the crack is it should be just fine with jb weld or gasket maker. manual tranny's don't have any fluid pressure so its fine.

 

Thanks

 

I wouldn't rely on it for long term use. It may work for a little while, it may work forever. Personally, I would switch the case, any B-series case will work. Just swap in your shafts, gears, and final drive and then you know your 100% reliable.

 

...not ANY case. We can assume he's got a 94-01 though...

Where is it cracked? The bell housing or the part with the gears in it?
