People weld cast heads all the time.. could I get away with welding large portions of a transmission case? (902) I have a wacky idea that just might work...

Iffin there is any heat treat on that tranny it's going to go bye-bye at the weld area.
T-6 precipitation hardening goes to T-0 (annealed). Not sure if the tranny has any heat treating, but most aluminum car parts do as T-0 is pretty soft. BTDT Ken |
