I have a 93 Integra auto… any i found that there is a crack in the buttom of the tranny it really isnt that bad but it leaks tranny fluid only when the engine is on…the crack is only about 2/4 of an inch… buddy of mine said i could try jb aluminum welding it for a solution instead of buyin a new tranny…cause im low on cash… it shifts fine when there is tranny fluid but when it runs out it slips … it wont go at all…the crack didnt spread at all … so i am thinkin about cleanin the crack and weldin it …good or bad solution?..this is my beater car also so…if anyone has any better solutions plz help… ---

my guess is if you ran it low, it’s not gona last much longer after you fix it, then you’re gonna have a tow bill on top of the price of a tranny. ---

Welding can actually work if its aluminum TIG weld it if steel MIG it.If you dont want to go that route try the JB weld. ---

JB weld should hold something like that ,as long as you get it really clean. I would say let it drain out, blast it with some brakeclean, let it dry, do it again, then slap the JB weld to it. ---
