Broken p/g case..

CHEVYMAN434 · 02-13-2013, 03:49 PM

My transmission case has been leaking since i got my car back...It's leaking where the transbrake sol. screws in..It was loose and i tightned it about two turns...It was still leaking so i unscrewd it all the way and the case is actually broken..Its broken in three places in the threads...So i was wondering if overtightning it can break it...And also wanted to see if someone here has a ultrabell case to sell...

Damn son.... turn your Muscle Meter Down

CHEVYMAN434 · 02-13-2013, 04:30 PM

I didnt turn it but 2 turns...It was only hand tight...Really silly cause its a brand new tranny with 0 passes on it...

RobertHolton1 · 02-13-2013, 05:03 PM

Weld it

CHEVYMAN434 · 02-13-2013, 05:05 PM

Ok cool,,,where to take it??

DIGGLER · 02-13-2013, 06:25 PM

is that a pipe thread? if so, yes it would deffinately crack the case if overtightened, since it is pipe fittings are tapered.

CHEVYMAN434 · 02-13-2013, 06:40 PM

Well its big thread yes.. It seals on the face of it though,has a teflon gasket,so i knew it goes all the way down...Idk if i craked it being it has been on my lift for months and leaking steady just sittin there...But this really sucks,cause if how now bought every peice of this car twice and have not made a pass yes...Only thing left that might break is the rearend..It was just rebuilt but so was the engine and tranny...lol

DIGGLER · 02-13-2013, 06:50 PM

if it has a teflon gasket, im thinking its not a pipe thread. so it might have cracked from some other reason... good excuse to get an aftermarket case. lol

CHEVYMAN434 · 02-14-2013, 06:26 PM

I got it out today and gonna try to figure where to take it..I guess im just gonna get a JW case and just use my same internals..But here's a pic of the damage

slowgreen99 · 02-14-2013, 06:52 PM

Damn that things cracked bad

CHEVYMAN434 · 02-14-2013, 06:56 PM

I know and bad thing is i dont know if i broke it or who did...I was leaking the whole time since i got it back,just sitting on the lift dripping...So i tried to tighten it first and i dont know if i broke it but it was still leaking just like it was when i finished...Thats when i found the cracks.......

DIGGLER · 02-14-2013, 09:09 PM

looks like something hit the solenoid knocking it towards the 3 cracks.

CHEVYMAN434 · 02-14-2013, 09:20 PM

Kinda what im thinking...It was put in once,then taken out and put back in so i wouldnt know where it happened...I have redone The brake lines,Brakes,nitrous wiring,and had to build a new bottom end and now the transmission with this build and have not made one pass...It really sucks but i have learned my lesson on where i have to take my stuff.This is why i built a shop at my house..If i cant fix it i will hire the right people to come here and do it from now on...

MonteC · 02-14-2013, 09:29 PM

Ugh, rtv.

CHEVYMAN434 · 02-14-2013, 10:01 PM

Naw,the best way i see out is to use a new glide case machined for a jw ultrabell and a roller tailshaft..I will be ordering the stuff tommorow..It has all the good internals so hopefully it can just be put in another case...I think im gonna take it up to rpm and have it built there...They said if i bring all the parts they can have it ready that day...

Matts94Z28 · 02-14-2013, 10:05 PM

I'd take it to griffin transmission.

AverageJoe · 02-14-2013, 10:08 PM

Another vote for Griffin Transmission. Also, I think you misread his rtv comment. lol

My comment was the udder disdain I have for people who put rtv on a transmission, especially in a quantity such as that. Rarely does rtv have a place on a transmission, certainly not on a pan gasket.

Oh yeah i got ya...Its a shame its like this
