onlyflash944 · « **Reply #2 on:** August 01, 2009, 07:46:20 PM »

option b: jb weld it proper

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?

It depends on where the crack is, how big it is, etc.

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

That shit needs to be welded at a minimum.

I'd probably hunt for a new case or tranny myself.

jdmshocker · « **Reply #8 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

cast is very tough to weld correctly

yes, make sure he knows whats going on

jdmshocker · « **Reply #14 on:** August 02, 2009, 02:39:18 PM »

any advice or tips for tig welding the case?

chris · « **Reply #15 on:** August 02, 2009, 03:06:18 PM »

aluminum sweats out oil if oil has been present. Most welders cant do cast correctly.

jdmshocker · « **Reply #16 on:** August 02, 2009, 03:18:52 PM »

Just go to the junkyard and get a new case and be done with it.

jdmshocker · « **Reply #19 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

89shithatch · « **Reply #20 on:** August 03, 2009, 12:47:35 AM »

jb weld it and run that fucker.

t_cel_t · « **Reply #21 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.

d-rail · « **Reply #22 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.

jdmshocker · « **Reply #23 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.

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....

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.
