not at all considering the abuse it has taken drag racing and all...
a friend of mine I hunt with Dad used to weld for NASA and and said he'd be able to fix the case...I just have to find the time to tear it down and bring it to him and buy the pump rub fix kit...either kennedy or merchants, unless someone can recommend a better kit or better vendor to buy from...I'll call Henry to see what he can come up with...

I don't think there is ANY possibility of welding magnesium.

I'm pretty sure it's aluminum...

Likewise the other way
On edit: If you can still get to that article that Mike L posted about the transfer cases and about the 3 qt fill, it's discussed about it being Magnesium in there.

I have the plate to fix it and haven't put it in yet. How did you know you had the issue? Did it leak in the driveway? Or just a regular check? I think Merchant has the case for just under $300.

If magnesium burns, I don't think anything can put it out. Very dangerous substance. They use magnesium for fire starters. It burns very hot.

It would be an alloy of magnesium so it wouldn't burn out of control.
From what I know it can be welded and TIG is the likely choice. My guess is it would weld similar to aluminum.

The JBWeld will last longer than you think.
I'd upgrade the innards with the kit and JBWeld the housing and call it a day.

I see Merchant has dropped the pump kit to $75. Just got an e-mail from them today. New housing 1/2 at $295.

Pepp, they can be welded. We have done a few successfully here at the shop. We did not weld them in house but they were sent out. The kennedy kit I have used and it is veyr good. FWIW

Joe,
I ordered Merchants pump rub kit for the $75
Mike,
When Steve and I crack it open I will assess the case...and I may just use the JB weld on the inside as well...if it looks as if it won't hold up, Bill sent me a link to a redesigned heavy duty "aluminum" case half made by Idaho Transmission on Ebay for only $229
