first off i am not telling how to "jack his own dick" i am telling him how to weld cast aluminum, you can not mig weld it you either tig with the correct filler or you braze it! i already said if there is seals to cose to the heat effected zone disassemble it so you can to the repair correctly! but if you think trying to give advise on a solid repair is going to far the then i am done helping anyone here! you all have kow clue on repairing cast metals!
The guy you said if he "claimed to be an engineer" was a part of the design for the G'damn 4R100 you twit. So yeah, telling him how to do _____ on a 4R100 is about like telling him how to jack his own dick!
His suggestion probably had something to do with the fact that if you don't have luck with something super simple like epoxy, then just TAKE THE G'DAMN TRANS APART and put it in a NEW CASE....
Who in the *** would go to that much trouble to dissemble the damn thing then just rig it back together with a porus weld that has a high probability of leaking or cracking? Just get a new freakin case at that point. That's the only non-rigged solution.
Once you step below that level, all bets are off. Gob whatever sh*t you can find at it. Arguing over what rigjob is "right" and which is "wrong" is moronic. Especially when you're doing it with someone who engineered the damn thing.
Holy sh*t...
lol.
I've tigged sh*t back together myself, so don't go there. In this situation you either Gob some sh*t at it, or tear it down and swap cases. All that other sh*t is just dumb. If you take it apart, then gob some sh*t at it and then put it BACK TOGETHER again, that's some real dumb ass decision making there. 4R100 cores are not exactly rare.
