Re: drilled hole in transmission

Looks like you got a handle on it. I had no idea the floor was so close to the trans. Good luck with the repair.

Re: drilled hole in transmission

Cheap easy fix for you is the JB weld, but here's a tip..
Take the drill bit you used, and cut a small piece the width of a dime off the top of the drill rod.
Put that "disc" of metal into the hole you drilled, it won't fall through, and will cap the hole so the JB weld doesn't ooze through the hole as it sets..
Scuffing up the metal around the hole and cleaning it with acetone would be a good idea as well.

Re: drilled hole in transmission

Did the sealant work?

Re: drilled hole in transmission

I am very curious to know if the repair was a success.

Re: drilled hole in transmission

1 US dime = 1 mm. I keep one in my tool tray- to set spark gaps on Japanese cars. Also, a US nickel weighs 5 grams. And, no, I'm not admitting anything else!

I didn't want to say use a Krone, because in his case it wouldn't solve the problem.

Re: drilled hole in transmission

I think I would change the tranny fluid a few times after all this.

Re: drilled hole in transmission

I put i little metal plate in there. Not a krone hehe. And sealing on the top, then it sat for 3-4 days and it worked 100% no leaks.
Thanks for the help !
