I know this may belong in the tranny section, but responses are so slow over there and I'm kinda stuck.

I have an 82 Blazer with a TH350 tranny. Just bought the thing, and I knew it had a tranny leak.

The tranny shop I use told me $250 to replace the front seal, pump seal, the transfer case seal and some misc. O rings. They fix it, drive it off of the ramp and no problems. I drive it two miles and it leaks again.

Turns out the holes are stripped and won't hold a torque, and to worsen the problem, the case is cracked where one of the stripped bolt holes for the pump is at!

So, can the case be fixed or do I need to buy another tranny from a junk yard?

 

could always heli-coil it.. how big is the crack?

 

There's no room, a heil-coil would crack it further. The only possible repair would be to have it welded, but there's not much room in there.

 

sounds like its time to drop 100 bucks on a jy tranny then unless ya can get it welded cheap..

 

A JY Tranny?

 

junkyard

 

or if ya wanna drive to nj u can have one for free, i have 2 in back of my shed that my father would be very happy to see leave lol

 

Oh. Thing is since it is a 4x4 case (K case) they're not that cheap. The shop owner told me that if I find a case out of a junk yard he'd rebuild the thing for me at little cost, maybe $100 or so.

But I haven't found anything for less than $450.00 yet!

 

Are they K cases?

 

nope afraid not.. i read through fast and missed hte 4x4 part.. guess it would help to have somethin to bolt the transfercase 2.. good luck!

 

Thanks, I think I'll need it!
