Clutch Housing Crack
I have two clutch housings both with a crack in the same location.
I could not find anything on line about cracks in this location. Both are cracked from the throw-out-bearing inspection cover outboard and up to the right side. The picture is upside down. One is all the way to housing flange the other is shorter. I stop drilled the shorter one and then used dye penetrate to check and see if I got the end of the crack stop drilled. Are cracks in this location abnormal? Last edited by GPierce; 04-18-2024 at 08:30 AM. |

Re: Clutch Housing Crack
I have a crack in my AA four-speed bell housing. I carefully cleaned the housing, followed the end of the crack and drilled the hole to prevent it from spreading. I believe mine was probably cracked from an accident from a previous owner. The bell housing was in near mint condition, which surprised me to find a crack. There’s virtually no wear in the bushings or on the clutch fork.
As long as you drill a hole at the end of the crack to prevent it from spreading. I would not hesitate using it. You can see the crack in mine is much worse than the crack you have. The AA four-speed transmission is probably three times as heavy as the original three speed transmission.
