Hi guys, as some of you may have seen I’m putting a 5lm60 into my once automatic 94 k1500. Disaster struck tonight pulling out the pivot ball stud.
It was coming out perfectly until it suddenly felt very loose, that’s when I loosened the puller and found that the case had cracked where the stud gets pressed in. Not a whole ton of the surface it presses into was destroyed, but some was.
Do you guys think this trans is still useable? Was thinking if I could get the stud pressed back in I could put some high heat jbweld putty around it to make sure it stays secured.
But I’m worried pressing the stud back in will just continue to crack the case around where the chunk broke off…
Here’s the video of what happened:
