well i cracked my transfer case on my trannie next to a half inch drive bolt well i was just wondering can it be welded? i know its a aluminum housing but is it able to be tig welded or any other type of welding? PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

 

how u cracked it/

if it cracked by itself u more lickely broke the differential pin...
wich needs a new rebuild or a new tranny...
and no welding that case wont be a very good idea

 

my friend was putting the half inch bolt on but used a power tool and broke the grooves for the bolt..

 

WHAT BOLT WHERE u taking in or out??
the fill hole??
thats a 17mm wrench u need....
and good lukc welding on aluminum and getting no leaks....
since i have worked on trannies... if the crack goes tru the whole casing,, be carefull that any of the insides are moving a lot... the internals are critical and tight and need no free movement...

 

well its actually a half inch bolt that is there for a pin for the bearings on the diff. well the screw in part broke wo i was wondering if it could be welded without worries?

 

I never use power tools for any torqueing on the car, just use a torque wrench. Or even loosening any bolts, i'd rather use a pipe for an extension then strip and damage. Just have your friend figure it out since he messed it up, pay for it or whatever. . Take a picture and ask a mechanic.

 

yeah i would get money from him but he has no money and i need my car uo and running soon!!!!!!!!!

 

well u could aluminum weld it. You need to use argon gas, and get aluminum wire. Me and my friend did mine, when the car was hit and broke the rear motor mount braket and took the trany casing with it. Its still holding so if you know how to weld pretty good it should hold. Just make sure it doesn't like. I say try it and see what happens.

 

coo thanks for your help..

 

no go on welding ****!!!
i gotta take off my vortech to get the trannie off ******* ****
i wish i never had a honda!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111
