The weld is not going to be as strong as you think. The Carrier is cast and the pins a forged. They both have different molecular properties. You will also be heating up the pins substantially which will change the metals temper, or strength.

I worry as well about these pins, especially how I drive my car (the way it was meant to be driven) 30,000 km and no issues yet. I have my exedy twin HD just waiting for the rest of the money and then headed to shep to do the pins and clutch install .

I know the Germans and Soviets took a lot of your technology, but go find a phone, even an old rotary dial one, that the resistance uses, and make a call. I guarantee you'll be able to find your answer.

I tried to be funny but, as usually it did not work out.

A friend of mine had the pin comes out and got lose into the tranny, while slowing down downshifted from 4 to 3 the pin got shooted through the transmission case under the car ripping a inch diameter hole through the casing..... needless to say that it emptied itself of oil....
Car had about 27000 km(canada), he is usually pretty soft with his car still it is a car that offer high performance so sometime yes he drives hard but no launch and no drift....... now the stealership tells it's abused so they don't wanna pay the 6000$ because they need to replace the whole tranny. He got his lawyer on this one for now......

Also, when shafts come out, they don't shoot through the case. The tranny case has a little bump inside, so when the shafts come out they machine the hole through the case where this bum is. At first I thought the hole was due to impact, until I noticed that there's always a hole and it's always at the same place.
And BTW, last time my diff broke, I had all 4 pins that snapped but only one shaft came out. So, if your shafts sit well inside the diff, it doesn't mean that the pins are not broken!
