I was taking off my transmission and I ask my brother if he had gotten all of the bolts off and he said yes. Well in fact he left on on and now I have a hairline crack at the top of the bellhousing. Can I still use it or do I have to get another on? Where could I get one at?

Thanks in advance

 

It really depends on where the crack is, but any crack is not a good thing. Have it welded. GM does not sell the bell housing separately from the tranny, so you would have to go to a salvage yard to get one to replace it.

 

The crack is at the very top of the tranny. Can this be welded at a muffler shop?

Thanks in advance

 

I would take it to a place that was well versed in welding aluminum. I doubt that it would cost that much.

 

TTT Please help

 

Do what shoebox said and get it welded....would you rather your tranny unbolts and falls off when your drag racing or something?
