Will a little JB Weld help this??

Well I got my shift linkage parts on Thursday and went to put them on my car
today to try to sort out my tranny issues.  When I started crawling around
under the car I noticed this http://66.47.100.223/images/hole.jpg.  So I'm
pretty sure I will be needing a new tranny after all.  On a positive note I
did wax most of the car and the paint looks pretty decent.

Here are the "before"  shots.  http://66.47.100.223/scirocco  I am planning
to replace the clutch and put in a lightened flywheel when I swap the
tranny.  Anything else I should do while I'm in there?
