So, rarely do we have any moisture at all here in West Texas, let alone streets flooding. However! The streets did flood so I did what any Land Rover enthusiast would, and played in it. But as I did, my carpet began to get soggy. I was only splashing around through 6 inches of water or so, so I got worried. Pulled up my carpet today aaaaand...

Triangle cut! I can see the transmission housing!
what on Earth could they have been trying to do or repair by cutting here!? Also, thoughts on what I can use to patch after I bang it back in there with a hammer? Cripes.

 

That's one to get at a bell housing bolt?
i would weld in a patch or jb weld putty to put in the patch

 

Oh man, that makes sense. Lazy way to drop the tranny?

JB Weld is an excellent solution, thanks. I'll give it a go next weekend and see how she fares.

 

I'd cut a piece of metal to replace the missing section than use the JB Weld putty to so all the seams.

 

wow that's ruff! Id be looking over your rig some more to see if you can find any other hack work.....

 

Yeah, good idea. This weekend I may take all the seats out and pull the carpet up. Now I'm worried about mold and rust all over as well.
