    Does anyone know a good way to repair a 1 inch crack in the transmission,
    without having to pull everything out to replace the case.
    I have a Honda 2000 CRV auto trans front wheel drive.
    thank you

    I can't think of an easy and cheap way to repair it. However, if you want
    to save lots of money on the replacement of the case, I advise you to
    visit the largest junk yard in your area and ask how much they would
    charge you for a used case. Most of those junk yards are now on a special
    computer net work and can order you one from another junk yard even if
    they don't have one in stock. They also will guarantee it. I have had lots
    of success in dealing with the local junk yard.

  3. transmission,

    Well, I assume you hit something. If its just a simple crack that's leaking
    oil, and not a major dent with loose bits, then do the following:

    1. throughly clean the crack area with a wire brush and acetone or thinner
    2. abrade the crack itself with a Dremel tool to make a V indent. Clean
    again with acetone or thinner
    3. Get some JBWeld (2 part expoxy, about $10) and fill the crack.

    I've fixed a cracked block successfully with this, and it lasted 15 months
    until the head dropped a valve into a cylinder, at which point everything
    stopped ...

    Cheap and easy and may work just fine.
