Cracked transmission housing (torque converter end housing endplate)
Short Story: mechanic ripped me off / PCV problems / had to replace the rear crankshaft seal
I've replaced the seal - required a ton of things to take off in order to get to it
while getting the transmission back in place - I cracked the outer housing which I have now found out is the torque converter end housing plate
I've ordered a replacement plate
this is my question:
the transmission is still not fully connected
The housing cracked while I was tightening the transmission bolts (I don't have a pillar jack)
I initially noticed a sleeve that was not fitting and I have since been able to get the sleeve to fit
as I'm tightening the bolts - I can hear it continue to crack and there is a slight bulge
not sure whats causing it - the torque converter is in nice and tight and is inside the bell housing
should I continue to tighten it up or wait until I get the replacement plate?
or is there is something I cant see besides the sleeve thats causing it to crack?
