Tcase question!! HELP!
Well i picked this Tcase up for my 03 evo for $300 but there is a chip where you put it into the transmission it slides in the trans and everything fine but im afraid it is going to leak where there is a chip in it.... i think once i put the O-ring around it it should be fine but i want some more opinions also do you think i could just swap the guts out of this tcase and put them in mine.... let me know... help is GREATLY appreciated!!!! Here is the best pictures i could get!

that looks a little sketchy
if you know someone that can weld aluminum then your set! local machine shop maybe? either that or you could use some of that magical JB weld! works wonders!

IDK not sure it will leak. The O Ring should seal it up. I would not put JB Weld on that.. I would say as long as its not to jagged or going to rip the o ring you should give it a go.

ok thanks... i wish i had a better picture.... but i think i should be ok it isnt to jagged and theres no way it would rip to O-ring... but my girlfriends dad welds but he doest have an aluminum welder... i culd always just take it to a machine shop and get a quote.... also for $300 i couldnt go wrong it only has 35K on it.... mine is SHOT!
Not sure what you would weld in there and get it perfect. I would let it go. If its not sharp then i would put it in. Drive it slow around the block and see how it performs.

looks like some of you have never had to fix anything...you fill the cracked area with the weld and grind it down to the shape you want it. convertional welding works but the jb weld is easier and less expensive to work with. sometime you have to fix stuff to save money...thats why you got it cheap right? gotta make due with what you have.

Again I would not worry about this. I would just put it in the car.. Its before the O Ring so it will seal..
