Without pix we do not have a clue what you are talking about. Somewhere in the instructions on this site are instructions on how to upload pix.

Is there a bolt going through the broken part or did it break through a bolt hole? If it doesn't seal up a hydraulic circuit, doesn't contribute to the clamping force exerted on the gasket/separator plate it might not be necessary. How the heck did you break a VB?

SOL. I would not use that and I would not attempt to repair it.

Sorry...

Damaged by USPS.

Don't wait too long to file a claim. Where did you get this from? How do you know that it wasn't like this before it was shipped? Was it from EBay?

 

[ivrb]

well thought I ask if its repairable, what is the worst case?

The aluminum can't be welded back so you're better off getting another valve body. Save the internal spools, springs, keepers, and solenoids. Give the aluminum into a scrap metal place. You might get a couple of dollars for it. Contact Donny from Central Valve Bodies, and mention this website to get a discount.
