Tig weld transmission case
I was having a talk with my mechanic after he was looking at my car. The car seems to have a transmission leak in the case and he has recommended rebuilding it or replacing it with a used one. He said he would rebuild it for $1500 or put in a used one for $450. However, he also said if the car was driving fine when the fluid is full that he could just tig weld the case halves where they are leaking for $150 and it should stop the leak. This sounds odd and was wondering if this would influence the transmission failure rate. What do you guys think?

:what:
To be done properly the trans would need disassembled, cleaned, crack ground inside and out and welded inside and out. While he is in there he should throw in a basic rebuild kit (clutches, steels, seals, and other soft parts). This is the only way to get any confidence that it won't crack again.
