Post by: jdmshocker on August 01, 2009, 07:52:21 PM: i was probably going to JB weld, i was actually thinking about using Quicksteel, me and my dad have used it on our boat engine (chevy 350) and the exhaust manifolds. I figure the crack is very small and filling it with JB weld or something like that would be just fine?

Post by: Ntrain2k on August 01, 2009, 08:56:02 PM: It depends on where the crack is, how big it is, etc.

Post by: widebody93 on August 02, 2009, 04:20:18 AM: I suggest taking it to a machine shop after you have it hot tanked. let then groove into it with a die grinder and re tig it from the outside. NOT FROM THE INSIDE
Title: Re: GSR trans case has a small crack
Post by: Ntrain2k on August 02, 2009, 01:38:44 PM: That shit needs to be welded at a minimum.

I'd probably hunt for a new case or tranny myself.
Title: Re: GSR trans case has a small crack
Post by: jdmshocker on August 02, 2009, 01:57:40 PM: damn, i just sanded it some and put on some quicksteel stuff, i guess i'll start looking for a new case :(

Title: Re: GSR trans case has a small crack
Post by: jdmshocker on August 02, 2009, 02:39:18 PM: any advice or tips for tig welding the case?
Title: Re: GSR trans case has a small crack
Post by: chris on August 02, 2009, 03:06:18 PM: aluminum sweats out oil if oil has been present. Most welders cant do cast correctly.
Title: Re: GSR trans case has a small crack

Post by: Ghetto_D on August 02, 2009, 07:23:54 PM: Just go to the junkyard and get a new case and be done with it.
Title: Re: GSR trans case has a small crack
Post by: jdmshocker on August 02, 2009, 11:30:33 PM: yeah, problem is there is no integra's at all in the junkyards around me :/ I'll have to source out a new case online
Title: Re: GSR trans case has a small crack
Post by: 89shithatch on August 03, 2009, 12:47:35 AM: jb weld it and run that fucker.
Title: Re: GSR trans case has a small crack
Post by: t_cel_t on August 03, 2009, 05:03:13 AM: hit the crack with a torch for a few mins that should burn off most of the oil, then rinse with acetone/alcohol/brake cleaner something that cuts oil.
Title: Re: GSR trans case has a small crack
Post by: d-rail on August 03, 2009, 05:42:17 AM: If you heat if up and clean it a few cycles then weld it while its hot you should be ok. But putting filler in somewhere that has already cracked do to stress is not the answer.
Title: Re: GSR trans case has a small crack
Post by: jdmshocker on August 03, 2009, 10:22:24 AM: yeah brake cleaned the hell out out of it, but i didn't try torch it or burning off the oil, good idea. I'll probably try to get a dremel or something on it as well before welding it

I'll keep you in mind, may have found two trans locally.

Post by: bigdaddyvtec on August 04, 2009, 03:18:36 AM: grind along the crack SLIGHTLY, hit with torch SLIGHTLY, drill 2 small holes at either end of the crack and tig it. Tranny cases are tricky ask me how I know....

Post by: ifly87 on August 04, 2009, 02:38:40 PM: Yeah be carefull if you torch it, heat can change the properties of the aluminum pretty easily. Damn. I wouldnt jb weld it, i'll bet that thing opens up when there's a heavy load on it. I'm supprised it didnt come apart.
