Re: ALL WASHEERS THERE!!!! b16a lsd y1 tranny case leak????
 

grey ---- is called hondabond which is used to seal the cases together. Just throw more on top of the leak not that big of a deal

Re: ALL WASHEERS THERE!!!! b16a lsd y1 tranny case leak????
 

If the grey ---- is in a relatively thin line and you can remove most of it in one piece, it's installed from the factory. Bone's got some good pics of it, he calls it the cherry.

Re: ALL WASHEERS THERE!!!! b16a lsd y1 tranny case leak????
 

theres a crack on the case :(

ill get pictures of it.. in the front right down low... dripping bout a drop every second or so.. pretty fast pace..

draining the tranny as we speak.. tomorrow ill clean it off with some brake cleaner.. then idk.. either sand it down to clean it and use jb weld.. or take it down to the local exhaust shop... i dont remember seeing this crack before.. but then again the trans was always dirty as ----.. and i never did shine it up.. and theres that grey ---- all arround the crack.. i grabbed a wire brush and brushed the trans along the crack and that dripping got alot worse.. lawl..

so.. jb weld? weld? hondabond?

if i understand correctly there is little to no pressure in the tranny.. so if i clean it up good and jb weld it.. it should be a good pernament fix? or should i push it down the street to the exhaust shop and have them weld the crack?

crack travels from a bolt that holds the tranny together outwards.. (not the bolt that holds the trans to the engine) and idk.. this ------- sucks.. i dont think jb weld will stop the crack from ------ing :( so just idk.. exhaust shop weld ftmfw? :(

or take out the tranny and completly take it apart anid have the exhaust shop weld from inside and out :(

Re: ALL WASHEERS THERE!!!! b16a lsd y1 tranny case leak????
 

i guess i must have hit something... i dont even remmeber the last time i hit a pot hole :(

i got pulled over before cause a cop told me i was swerving i told him LOOK AT THE POT HOLE... IT WOULD HAVE ATE MY CAR.. lol

jb weld

Re: TRANNY CASE CRACKED!!!! weld the crack? or jb weld???
 

the man speaks

cool.. so ---- welding it.. gonna give it till tomorrow to drain out well.. then clean it up good and jb weld..

any tips????

Re: TRANNY CASE CRACKED!!!! weld the crack? or jb weld???
 

Well the leak isnt that large nor does the crack sound like anything serious this is where jb weld was made for. Just clean the outside really well and sand down where the crack is and around.


Use real jb weld not jb quik. if you wanted to get real fancy after the first layer of jb weld dries layer on a couple sheets of alumium foil to add to the thickness and mold it to the transmission



Then more jb weld and let it cure. I have fixed muflers with that technique and the pressure never blew it out. The foil is uber ganagster and proably free in the kitchen.

Re: TRANNY CASE CRACKED!!!! weld the crack? or jb weld???
 

sounds like jb weld it is.. but just gotta add that welding the crack for me would be just as easy as using jb weld..

jb weld is like 8 bucks sanding paper is like 2 bucks...

or toss the muffler shop 20 bucks to weld the crack..
either way is easy for me.. but if ya think they would yiled the same results then idk.. ---- it

Re: TRANNY CASE CRACKED!!!! weld the crack? or jb weld???
 

Dude if welder will weld it up for 20 bucks go that route

Re: TRANNY CASE CRACKED!!!! weld the crack? or jb weld???

Re: TRANNY CASE CRACKED!!!! weld the crack? or jb weld???
 

Welding it would suck. It will have to have the ends of the crack drilled, v-notch the crack and then get the oil off both sides and inside the crack itself. Otherwise the weld will be a nasty mess and will either leak or come back through pretty quickly. Dirty aluminum is the devil.

Re: TRANNY CASE CRACKED!!!! weld the crack? or jb weld???
 

DUDE!!!!

do you have to vnotch it?

its gonna be sitting over night so it should be try by tomorrow...

and imma clean it up well..

now im afraid to have the dude weld it.. because i dont want to be going back for a 2nd time!

im selling the car!!!

is jb weld going to b e any easier than welding it :( why do you need to vnotch it?

haha now im afraid to have it welded.. ah well looks like its gonna be jb weld :(

Re: TRANNY CASE CRACKED!!!! weld the crack? or jb weld???
 

well.. ive come to the conclusion of trying jb weld/aluminum foil first.. if that doesnt work out i can break off the jb weld with a small chisel and have a shot at welding it.. if that fails then im removing the tranny and gonna have a go at welding from inside and out.. and if that fails ill have a go at finding myself a new tranny case...

yay for buktastic luck

Re: TRANNY CASE CRACKED!!!! weld the crack? or jb weld???
 

come to think of it.. i dont think the exhaust shop has anything to weld aluminum...

will it still be ok :(

hes a pretty good welder.. he fabs up ladder bars all the time and works good at routing/welding exhausts.. so idk..

---- I HATE IT WHEN I CANT MAKE UP MY MIND...

will a regular welder work fine :(

will the welds break from vibration?

will jb weld break from vibration :(

Re: TRANNY CASE CRACKED!!!! weld the crack? or jb weld???
 

90% of muffler shops dont touch Aluminum

Re: TRANNY CASE CRACKED!!!! weld the crack? or jb weld???
 

jb weld it is :y

+50

CLEAN THAT ---- GOOD and I mean grind into the crack a bit if you can. Make it as clean and rough as possible and you should be golden.

Re: TRANNY CASE CRACKED!!!! weld the crack? or jb weld???
 

JB weld nugga do it. I heard that it can heal diabetes too. True story

Re: TRANNY CASE CRACKED!!!! weld the crack? or jb weld???
 

ya if you used it to seal a fat man's oesophagus

Re: TRANNY CASE CRACKED!!!! weld the crack? or jb weld???
 

well.. i went ahead and did the first coat.. i used a spoon to apply it on then a Q tip and tooth picks to get it into all the little cracks..

the cotton on the qtip broke off so i let it stay in the jb weld.. figured it would act like fiberglass.. too late now to get it out ah well..

next coat is gonna be even bigger.. + the aluminum like chris said

i dont think this ---- is going anywhere.. lol

Re: TRANNY CASE CRACKED!!!! weld the crack? or jb weld???
 

You Big daddy scruff:


The M2B4 tranny that has miraculously survived in my pile of mess thus far had a hole the size of a car key in the bellhousing from a bolt going IN TO the tranny from the outside. I cleaned the ---- out of it with brake clean, ground the edges, hit it with acetone and welded a piece of aluminum into the hole... then jb welded over the top of that JUST TO BE SURE it wouldnt leak.... I havent had any issues with it yet. As long as the crack isnt in an area that carries funky loads (IE bearing boss or the like) thats going to be compromised you ll be fine.

mine was right behind the pressure plate on the thin thin part of the case so I got KIND of lucky....


The alloy the case is made out of is shitty to start with so its a fucker to weld (its really pourus and low quality).... it can totally be done, but someones gonna have to know how to tig/heliarc fairly well


JB weld will be fine if its not in a structuraly dependant area

Re: TRANNY CASE CRACKED!!!! weld the crack? or jb weld???
 

fkn A

went out there this morning and there were drops of oil forming arround the outside of the jb weld.. i was pissed because the tranny drained pretty ------- good.. idk where the ---- the oil came from.. i said ---- it.. hosed it with brake cleaner.. sanded the ---- outta the jb weld to rough it up..
mixed up a big ass batch of jb weld and poured it into some aluminum foil then smashed it into the area arround the crack/bolt

plan is to peel off any loose foil when its tried out sand it down.. then give it one last coat.. then sand it down and spray paint it.. lol yeah.. this fucker better not leak..

Re: TRANNY CASE CRACKED!!!! weld the crack? or jb weld???
 

:P

Cover the final concotion with "automotive goop" like a whole tube, wont drip through without pressure. Youll have enough to cover like 3 square feet.

Re: TRANNY CASE CRACKED!!!! weld the crack? or jb weld???
 

if you JB welded it.. since you're selling the car, would you tell a potential buyer that you JB welded the trans case? You better tell them or you'll be considered a SCAMMER by our fellow hmt community...

Re: TRANNY CASE CRACKED!!!! weld the crack? or jb weld???
 

yea matt i actually had some kid test drive it yesterday and i let him know whatsup

ofcourse the car will never sell now..

it seems like the dripping has stopped.. so idk where the ---- that oil came from

yesterday before going to bed i took a newspaper stretched it out over cardboard and taped it on and stuck it under the tranny.. i just checked it today and it was clean.. so idk wtf is up..

thanks. ill go looking for it today at autozone.

Re: TRANNY CASE CRACKED!!!! weld the crack? or jb weld???
 

A minor crack with jb weld on it and can be driven till the end of time. A blown headgasket has the car down for days and machine shop costs
