removed th-350 trans to have converter redone by PTC and noticed a long crack that runs across the bellhousing. it begins just past center on driver side, comes across and rolls down to about one inch from where pump bolts in (on outside where inlet/outlet ports are for trans lines) crack runs mostly down center between where trans bolts to engine and where bellhousing ends at pump. some friends say pitch it, any opinions? it has not entered the body of the trans (no leaks). i am taking it to a friend to see about welding it. hate to have to buy used trans and have rebuilt or new (money). also, if i have to replace, are there any issues using a chevy th-350 other than an adapter plate for engine mount. thanks. wish i caught this a few months ago, instead of just before spring.
