If you want a long lasting repair, you can weld a piece of thin metal over the hole, but you will need to cut out the rusted areas beforehand. AutoParts Stores sell products to use as temporary fix such as patches which should last for a few months. But the best repair is weld or replace.

How big is the hole?
You can patch it but it won’t last long, I would replace the muffler if I were you.How big is the hole?

It looks like a lot of things need to be removed from the front end to gain access to it. Attached is a copy of Water Pump Removal instructions, see if you can extract some info and take shortcuts.

[quote=”Raistian77″ post=82407]Glad you got it figured out, my brain kept coming back to trans, but after realizing you had already replaced it I kept thinking “2 manuals with the same exact problem?” No way. Well, like they say you learn something new every day.[/quote]
I did learn from the problem that I had and I learned from you guys as well, thanks a lot!!

[quote=”wysetech” post=82359]I’m happy to know that you “got-er-dun”. I don’t know where all of your patience comes from but I bet you can do that job in record time now.
It’s unusual to see the same failure in two transmissions especially in your scenario but If you work on cars long enough you will find out that impossible things are indeed possible.
To me the transmission had to be the problem although others had legitimate possibilities also.

Thanks man! It was a tricky one because the guy I bought it from, at a junkyard, said that it was in working condition. So I ruled it out first, and like yous said, other possibilities were legitimate, but they were all checked and proved to be in good working conditions, and that’s when I got lost. I had to drive to PA to pick it up, I live in NY. Fortunately it was only 2 hours drive. These 2.4L are hard to find!! The Trans. I picked up has 90k miles and cost $350 so I went for it after I returned the other broken one. I used GM Acdelco Synchromesh fluid, what a great product they made!
Again, thank you!! CHEERS!
