JB weld it or something.

I was thinking of JB Weld, but that isn't a long term solution, I don't want to be constantly worrying about it failing, know what I mean?

If the housing part that has the crack can be replaced, then that would be okay, it needs the throw out bearing replaced anyway.

Now, I have sweating on the drain plug, how do I fix that?

Can you take a picture of that? Im almost positive it still says recommended.

AMSOIL - Synthetic Manual Synchromesh Transmission Fluid (MTF) show me where it says it meets or exceeds the 9224 spec on the bottle or this webpage. Lumpsteer has done the research, it does not M/E the 9224 spec.

[beemerd]

The bottles I have say it meets the spec. The website also says it meets the spec.

You broke your tranny changing oil, im not trying to be mean, but i doubt you can swap all the guts from the tranny into another one.

I would take it a shop if i were you.

Are you sure? Me and Lumpster had a lil arguement over this. He was saying Amsoil "does not meet or exceed" because of wording. I was saying that Amsoil might have there wording wrong and that I didnt know if it met or exceeded the spec:

royal purple trans fluid

Read the whole thing, but pay close attention to post 72 on page 5. Amsoil does NOT meet or exceed the OEM spec.

You don't have to torque tapered pipe threaded plugs. Just a wrap of some Teflon tape and then snug it down is all.

Am I missing something? How about TIG welding the crack? No harm in trying and CHEAP. (Let someone else do the welding)

[beemerd]

The problem with TIG welding is not knowing the base material is made up of. It's aluminum, but what grade? Plus TIG welding auld mean dropping the transmissin anyway, plus the. *** would have to be cleaned so I could get a good bead... It's a good idea, don't get me wrong, but a repair like thatwould not last very long, without knowin the exact composition of the aluminum. It's probably, loaded with magnesium which makes aluminum welding difficult.

if you replaced the whole tranny because of this, thats like replacing the whole jeep because of a little scratch. just drain the fluid into something clean. Just JB weld up the crack and call it good, If people fix cracked engine blocks with JB, Im sure you wont have a problem. Then put your still pretty new fluid back in and torque to spec

[beemerd]

HOLD ON! I was looking at my Jeeps tranny, and noticed that the part of the transmission where the drain and fill plugs are is bolted in at both ends to the rest of the transmission. Would they not be able to just pull that section out, and replace with new?
