The before, holes would not line up and the threads were all messed up.

 

So I busted out some toyz

 

I had my dad clean up the welds, I was a bit rusty, and it was hard using wire feed upside down....

 

And its all done...

 

blurry, its hard to see how the welds came out, but i'm sure they are good!

 

Yea I was too close w/ the camera. I tried a zigzag pattern at first, to really tie in the both pieces, but decided to fill the whole thing...

 

Were you trying to put a manual tranny in an automatic car?

 

What happened was, the bolts going from the Y section to the tranny snapped off inside the tranny. So i cut them out and rethread bigger holes and put in new bolts. Well nothing wanted to line up after that, so I said F it. This tranny bs has been going on for a while, and its won't end I know it.
