Cracked trans side cover

Hello everyone! Well, when pressing out the second shift lever from the side cover I managed to nearly split the housing in two. Question- can I have someone weld it or any idea on where to get one? I'm not 100% sure what material it is.

Is it Cast? - Not many people will weld cast - If some one does weld it there is a chance of warping and or changing the didtance between the two shifting arms which could cause binding

Check with VanPelt's, VANPELT SALES LLC homepage
Not worth trying a repair; not likely to be successful and these trannies leak enough as it is.
