cracked the tranny housing under the seal where the axel goes in on the driver side. tring to pry the POS axel back out. not sure what type of metal it is. i dont think it is cracked all the way through. wondering if it can be welded. thanks

 

anybody... i have been having hell with this tranny and the driver side axel not going in, when i tried pulling it back out to try to get it straight it was jambed... so i pried harder and it finally cracked the bottom of the tranny housing. i just got this tranny like 2 days ago for my z6/ turbo set up.... havent used it yet due to axel trouble... and i hate that i might have just screwed myself out of $225 on a tranny that i busted before i used it. please tell me some good news about getting this fixed? although this is probably a 1st? thanks

 

tranny case is made out of aluminum.

 

figured... so cant be welded up....thanks

depends on where the crack is, it probably can still be welded up. however, if you have a professional shop do it, it'll probably not be worth the money. if you have a friend in an auto body class or something, they'll do it for free over there.

 

yea, just have to try and find somebody that can weld aluminum. most people can only do steal.
