Default will JB WELD hold a shifter stabilizer together?

well amongst finishing my swap somehow we broke the part of the **** stabilizer that protrudes from the car. (if you arent familiar with what i mean its part of the shift linkage, not the actual linkage, but where the round bushing goes around. a chunk that is about half of that piece of metal that the bolt goes into just broke off and i'm wondering if you all think jb weld would hold it. i'm driving it right now just broken and hte bushing and washer are holding it together fine. think i'd be alright? this isnt something i can just try and then if it doesnt work, have it welded because once jb weld is put on there, a real weld cant bond to the metal right and its not worth a damn. so basically if i try and it doesnt work.....i get to buy a new half tranny casing. thanks for the help. and please dont just guess, only post if u actually know ur ****

Why in the world would you have to buy a new half of a tranny casing? I would say no to JB weld, just go to a machine shop or a muffler shop and get them to weld it for you.

Dude jb weld is going to fall off when you are racing. get it to a exhaust shop or your personal welder and have him weld it.

JB Weld is not going to last. After you get the shifter welded. Skuff the weld with some sand paper and paint it. This will keep the corrosion away.
