PG pump question

Ive got a stock pg case here w one of the lower pump mounting bosses that's broken ( approx 5 oclock ) and wont take a bolt. Im thinking it might of been over-tightened while mounting the ultra bell.

What are the chances the pump will leak if I put it together wo. that bolt?

My luck 100% !


You are talking about a bolt hole that is stripped for the front pump ?

trash the case.

the case here of Dave C's had a helicoil in every bolthole and the lower one had the boss broke out as well.

Reread your post ! X2 on what Jon said

So will it leak w/o this bolt?

Yep it will ! 

Shoot!
I just bought this thing from a member here....

I guess ill have to start looking for a new case.

yep its junk.

tig a new boss on it and drill and tap it out or JB Weld it and hope for the best or like has been said find another case I paid $75 for a rebuild able pg trans at the local junk yard

doesn't the pump seal with an O ring on the machined serface that isn't damaged? it may not leak externally

uses both, and there is a seal under the bolt head also.

case is junk unless you wanna try welding it.

one less both also to hold the ultrabell on if your going that route.

good time to buy a new case!  

Thanks guys, I'm not gonna mess w trying to weld it (although I may keep it around for a spare)
I think now is probably the right time to step up to the JW case anyways...

I have 3 jw ultra cases here for several builds i have going on, the stock case will hold a lot of power but after you mess w the jw there is no comparison in strength between the 2.

Will a stock case hold 1000 hp? If not ill just get the JW..

i put more than that through a stock case. its not so much the power that breaks um but how they are mounted in the chassis.

I've got a motor and mid plate....and plan on supporting the tail of the trans w a light crossmember.

if you must run a crossmember use a factory rubber mount, locktight the nuts, run um up snug then back off a hair.
