Surface Cracks in 5-spd Tranny Bell Housing (Aluminum Casting).Serious?
Hi there,
I just had my 2001 Honda Accord (166,500 km) in for a fall maintenance service (oil & filter change, tire rotationand basic inspection) at Midas and the technician showed me a series of surface cracks (maybe 30 of them in polygon shapes about 2.5 cm in dimension) on the aluminum casting on the 5-spd tranny bell housing (left side casting when looking from the driver's seat). He said that it was not something he had seen before. I don't know quite what to make of it. Is this serious? If it is, how should I approach the repair? Could it be a manufacturing defect that Honda should look after? Your helpful and insightful comments would be appreciated. TIA Balls |
