I have been having shifting issues with our 91' GVR4.. after some investigating I discover we have a cracked bell housing. I tore the transmission out of the car and discovered not only is the bell housing cracked but the lower tab on the engine block that transmission bolts to has sheared off! (This is the one bolt on the engine to transmission interface that bolts in from the engine side) Motor has 45k on a fresh rebuild and outside of a 16g turbo and intake is pretty much stock. Do you think that this very important broken tab can be welded on successfully? It would suck to have to toss this motor simply because of the unfortunate breakage of this tab and I do not want to scrap a nice, rust free, original paint VR-4 over something like this.
Note: I did a search on the forum for any reference to others who may have faced this same issue to no avail..
