My favorite JB Weld tale is from a commercial Paul Harvey used to
run. Seems a guy was out hunting and an accidental discharge of his
shotgun blew a hole in the top of his gearbox. (I get a kick out of
imagining that scene.)

Me too. But I think this is an urban legend.

The shot would have had to drive its way through the transmission
tunnnel before it got to the cast steel/aluminum gearbox housing.
What kind of shot was he loaded with? If 7-1/2 or 9 shot, no dice. If
0 or 00, then maybe it might be possible.

And how is it the barrel was pointed down? Most people point the
muzzle UP when entering a vehicle.

WTF was he doing transporting the shotgun LOADED? Or cocked?
Hunters know better,or should.
IMO,bullshit.

A lot of modern gear box designs are reincarnations of those of the
1930's where a sheet metal plate replaced what used to house the
shifter mechanism. So, it's entirely possible he was telling the
truth.

JB Weld would have never stuck to such an oily surface as a gearbox.

These plates are located where little or no oil could accumulate.

Besides, no one knows the actual circumstances.
