I went today to the shop to see why I was leaking tranny fluid, like a dime size amount. Well it turns out that it is leaking out the front seal. Anyways, My bellhousing has a crack like 4 inches long on each of the two sides. I NEED ADVICE. I am probably leaning towards replacing the tranny from what people are telling me. What do you all think? How much am I looking at to get it repaired or to get a new tranny and labor?

 

Oh come on, some of you have to know something about it.

 

Ok, I am reluctant to advise you to use the cracked case, it can be repaired but I would not do it.
A new tranny is probably the best way to go here.

 

I would have the trans shop weld the case back up. I've had it done many times and never had a problem.

I have seen it done too, but I would be reluctant to do it.
But it probably would be alot cheaper, I had my tranny rebuilt carryout for 750. Welding yours up and having it rebuilt while its out would be the cheapest way to go.

 

Can i just replace the case?

 

nobody???

 

You can either replace the case or repair your case or replace the entire transmission. A reputable transmission shop should be able to steer you in the right direction.
