Last Resort Until $$

[::Team420::]

Ok went to service my gear box today in my ss (auto), and i looked under the car and the servo casing has a massive split in it, and is spewing oil.

Now was thinkin after a few beers, that product "need-it" if i was to paste that over the case and piston cover would it hold until i get some $$ for a t5 box. Or am i wasting my time.

i think there is a liquid steel type product called 'devcon' or something that a few bike riding mates of mine have used to bodge up cracked engine cases etc. i spose if u clean the area real good first before u apply the knead-it/devcon its worth a shot at least. it might hold up fine but i dunno if i would do any road trips with it

You would need Knead-it steel. also make sure you clean all fo the oil off with a solvent or it will leak or fall off.

Knead-it steel

defintley use the devcon. its called devcon-f, and should get you out of trouble till for a short time till you can get some $$. make sure the area is 100% clean of oil.

ive used it before on a landcruiser box, the filler bolt snaped half off and i used a simmilar product to fill the gap with the plug in place, today you cant even notice it

Just a quick question, would a Getrag V8 304 gearbox out of a vt ss bolt up to mine or i have no hope?

[moff_man]

yes if its the same engine, one from a gen 3 (6 speed) will not with out modification but if its a 5.0L it will, get the whole setup tho (flywheel and clutch)

[clubby_you]

it wont work as there is pressure in the servo housing you would be lucky to make it out of your driveway with out it leaking again

Ok put it on went for a lap and the car wont stop spinning haha, must of been loosing so much pressure. Hopefully it will hold until i can get ahold of a t5 or getrag
