The product is called Allumaloy and it comes in the form of aluminum rods that are heated with a simple propane torch and shaped and ground down to size.
I would be concerned about using it in a Gearbox because of the stress unless it is in an area of no stress or weight bearing dependency.
Go to www.alumaloy.com and find out about this product.
I have never tried it, have no proprietary interest in this Company or its distribution and this is not an endorsement of this product.
