What causes a hole in the gearbox?
The most common cause of gearbox oil leaks: excessive oil Summer heat, high humidity, and high altitude all reduce a system’s ability to cool. These gearboxes have internal plumbing with orifices to control pressure and nozzles to deliver cool, clean oil to bearings and gear meshes.

Can you patch a hole in a transfer case?
Re: Hole / Leak in Transfer Case JB weld would only be a temporary fix if it worked at all. You really need to buy the rear case half (that has the hole in it) and then get a pump rub repair kit, which will have a new plate that bolts onto the pump that will stop it from wearing through again.

Can you JB Weld a transmission case?

How is the seal ring locked on a 4 speed transmission?
On early model 4-speed transmissions, the seal ring is locked in place to fourth gear by this L-key (arrow). The long part of the key slides in one of the grooves of the fourth gear and locks the seal ring with the short side of the key in to the notch of the seal ring. The key is held in place by the sprocket.
Where is the vent screw on a ratchet top transmission?
The rotating gears and shafts inside the trans churn up the 60 weight oil, creating moderate pressure. Ratchet top transmissions use a vent screw (A) to accomplish relief. The vent screw is located on top of the right side of the transmission’s case, in the threaded hole nearest the dowel pin (B).
What was the name of the ratchet top transmission?
The shifting mechanism changed from a rotating drum in the ratchet top to a rotating plate in the later models. This style of transmission has been called by different names such as the “cow pie top”, “pancake top” or the “washing machine top”.
What causes a four speed transmission to leak?
The greatest source of trouble for four-speed transmissions are oil leaks. The idea of a bike marking its spot is bullshit. Oil is meant to be kept on the inside of the gearbox, not dripping off the bottom of the transmission, onto the frame and splattering all over the rear tire.
