are you from the south?i thought only us rednecks used JB weld.....and duct tape to fix things.

i did this on the output flange of my tranny for my BMW.
bought a used gear box, $200, (man i love the price of BMW stuff). somebody gouged the flange removing the seal. i JB welded it, then using part of the old seal as a sanding block, i sanded it smooth. i have not noticed any oil on the floor yet.

the trick is to clean it very very good. you have to remove ANY oil. i would spray carb cleaner and blow it dry, then perhaps some paint thinner, something that will not leave a residue.
