Subject:Transmission corroding through
From:Bill H.

HELP! I noticed that my transmission was leaking a little and thought I'd
need a gasket perhaps but when I crawled under to take a look I found that
the middle case of the 3 cases making up the transmission, was seriously
corroded. A corner has worn through and was the cause of the leak. Even
worse, when I opened the filler cap to add some oil, all the remaining oil
raced out. So my question is, is there something that I can use as a
temporary patch on the pinhole in the aluminum case until I can find a
replacement transmission or decide it's time to make it a parts on wheels.
What I also found odd was that the other two cases were fine and showed no
corrosion but the middle one was being eaten alive. Thanks as usual.
