It'll vibrate itself into oblivion, and/or short itself out.  Knock some 
shunts out (if you want to bump up the current) and pour in melted wax. 
Punch some holes in the wax when the top hardens, which will allow the wax 
to contract as it cools without seperating from the tranny.  You will want 
to add two additional pours as it stiffens up.
