Q: Big hole under transmission
My mechanic looked up under my car today. There's a giant hole under the transmission case. I will try to attach a picture if I can. I do not have the money for repairs, but before I junk it, he's gonna try to repair it with JB WELD. At this point, it can't hurt! Do you think this will work? Also, what would cause a big hole like this? Something internal?? Your advice is appreciated. Thank you..
