Is it possible to weld a new or different bellhousing on a transmission?
And if so how? |

how broken are the cases??? as long as you have 50% or so of the original mating surface, it seems like it wouldn't be too hard to mount the adapter plate and repair the case..... as with most everything..."anything" is possible, but not normally by the average person...... "if you have ask" : (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) yes, it can be done, but it's going to be expensive since it sounds like you'd have to send it off to a shop...figure $85 an hour average shop time, minimum 5 hours, possible 10+ hours not including tooling or fixture costs.....now if you have a buddy with the equipment and that is talented, you could be in luck...... how much "cheaper" are these broken transmissions you are finding?? unless they are 50% or more off the normal price, I'd have to say it's not worth attempting |
