Should be an easy weld job since the alum was pretty clean.just paint to clean off, and it was a crack, not a break out. But the ultra bell would be a good fix too. Good luck Ray, I'm living the dream along side you buddy. Just wish I could be closer to lend a hand.

I just got back from dropping the transmission off at the welder's shop. I'll pick it up tomorrow. About $30. If something of that nature happens again, I'll definitely go with the "wasn't sposeta happen" thing.

It serves me right for trying to do it myself. But it was so DAMN close! r On 7/1/2012 5:49 PM, elcam84@xxxxxxxxx wrote: SOAB that would royally piss me off. Wish you had a helper.
