What was cracked in the tranny?
gowen:
The left case at the bottom, it actually looked like maybe a rock came up and hit it. But, it was about an inch from the drain plug, btw, when I sent my parts to EG it took about 4 MONTHS! :shock: But was totally worth it. Costed me over 1k, but was still worth it. :cry:
kawdude:
Interesting. I noticed on mine that there is a very small crack on the bottom right in front of the engine mount. Right where one of the case bolts goes. I found it after everything was back together. I said screw it and JB welded it.
4 Months :shock: holy crap!!!
gowen:
JB Weld! That is great stuff, but I was too scared as I could see oil was leaking out of the crack, so I did not know if it was a stress point. But, he did a good job on it. I had alot of problems when I sent it in. I let my engine get rained on, neglegence and left my crank to rust and pit. So, had to get another crank too. Uggh, but USC was what took so long. But, again, it is worth it. :-) Now, I need my drain plug fixed, I think I stripped it. :-( But, not willing to check incase I can't tighten it again. :-)

Yeah, he had a hard time locating a crankshaft and it was about now, but if nothing is needed, hopefully it won't take that long.
