[QUOTE="GreyAsp, post: 10105919, member: 9562"] I've developed a hairline crack in the the tailshaft housing. The tranny itself still works fine at 65K, but it leaks enough to where it's not really drivable as it is. And I would imagine that driving will just make the crack grow anyway, now that it's weakened. So I guess the options I have are: 1. Weld the housing. Would it be worthwhile or would I have to worry about the weakened part cracking again in the future? And could I do this without dropping the tranny? 2. Replace only that part of the housing. Is that piece even available separately? And again, could I do this without dropping the tranny? 3. Replace the tranny. It's a good excuse to upgrade and I wouldn't have to worry about future issues with a compromised part, but I don't know if I want to spend that kind of money right now. The big issue is that I really don't want to pull the tranny again. After doing it once (with a lot of help), I was hoping I wouldn't have to go through that again. So, of course 1 or 2 would be preferable. If I have to pull the tranny, I would be really tempted to upgrade, but I don't think it's worth it for a car I'll probably sell within a year anyway.
