yah so, i was under my truck pulling the drain plug to change the oil and i looked over at the tranny. and right around the trans oil pan i see a crack. its about 1/2 to 3/4 " long and i got a pic of it here. i know the quality is crappy but it was so hard to get a shot of it what with my truck all low and sh*t.
any info suggestions anything would be greatly appreciated

Is it a crack, or a casting/stamping defect? I would suggest getting some lay-out fluid and "lightly" dabbing the crack. If it shows a line radiating out from the crack, then you have a serious problem.
If it ain't broke, fix it til it is.

nah, its not near any stamping lines, it sounds really bad, but it doesnt seem that bad, because there isnt anything leaking from it, and i dont know squat about trannys. but im rebuilding the engine and getting a new trans in the spring anyway. i just wanted to know how serious it was. im prolly gonna clean it out and throw some jb weld in just to be safe, but i doubt itll do anything
thanks.

clean it up sand and wire brush it 1/2" overlap of the crack
acetone (womens nail polish remover will work) to get all grease/oil and JB weld epoxy it another good one is marine tex grey
$4 for jb $9 for marine tex grey
it's what I would do
