Smile JB Weld

I bought a 91 Cadillac that had been salvaged. After I drove it a few days I checked the trannie fluid and it was low. I filled it up and it leaked out onto the driveway. I jacked the car up and found a crack in the trannie about half way up and six inches long. Damage from the wreck, the Caddie had been hit in the front driver fender head on at low speed. It drove the motor/trannie into the firewall. Thus the crack. I cleaned the crack with disc brake cleaner and pushed in the JB Weld. Next morning added the fluid and drove it for years.


I agree with Rick, replace the part now.
