Has anyone has any previous experience w/ this product? I have a leak in my tranny and heard this stuff is damn near as good as getting it welded. What your experience with it good, bad, alright?

 

where is your tranny leaking from?
if its like a crack it wont work for long..

 

Not really a small crack b/c is has a slow steady drip looks like whoever had the car before me hit something and the damaged it causing the leak, theres a clump of compound(or watever u call it over it) dats where the drip seems to be comming from. Its drips at a slow steady pace like every 5 sec or so.

A fellow member told me about JB Weld and said it was really good. How long would it hold? If it can hold like a week or 2 thatsgood, by then i should be able to get a new tranny.

 

it might hold for a little, make sure you grind around the area
not possible to weld?

 

i found a shop that welds so i wanna have them look at it and then really decide if i should weld or jus get a new one.

 

anyone else w/ experience or recomendations on other products?

 

i wouldn't use jbweld to get the trans halves together

 

JB Weld is just two-part epoxy. It may seal a small crack but if your trans has a crack in it it liable to expand the crack a little bit when you shift. This would break the epoxy possibly.

 

koo, bump the jb weld den. i'll see how much it cost to weld, if it cost almost as much as a new tranny i'll jus pick up a new one

thanks again fellas

 

JB Weld FTW! But as others have said, it depends on your situation, if it's small crack, like a hairline crack I'd say go for it but if there's generally a HOLE there nah I wouldn't put THAT much faith into it, I mean for example it really can't hold cracks on an exhaust manifold due to heat and pressure but it works for a lot of other crap.

 

yea, it works for little crap. But so does super glue. I never really get JB Weld to work right for the things I want it to work for. I don't think it would cost too much just to get it welded.
