I noticed that I had a small pool of fluid under my car. And confirmed it was transmission fluid. I checked around and determined that it was coming from an area where a steel ball is pressed in a passage to seal it up.
I contacted Jacks and the culprit was shipping damage. I didn’t want to pull the transmission out to fix it, so I had a good discussion with Jack and determined that I could TIG weld it while it was in the car. I removed the bearing and lathed up an aluminum piece to fill the gap. I welded it and no leak anymore!
I don't have a post weld pic but it turned out good.
What a pain in the ass, at least I didn’t need to remove the transmission!
