anyone ever break a bearing retainer?

I broke the one on my tremec tonight, well I was in the drivethrough for the arby's and noticed my throwout bearing squealing, not really that loud, just noticeable, but I drove home put the light under it and there's a hairline crack it looks like. I know its steel so would it be possible just to weld it up? its about an inch and a half from the back. My trans is intalled correctly so spare me this plz..

just seeing if its normal? never broke one on my t5's

I cracked the bottom weld on an 86 GT T5 before at the track

If you weld it, you'll probably burn all of the grease out of it. A new one is only about $15, but it's about 45 minutes of your time to replace. If you have a decent size floor jack, you just have to pull the trans back and slide it into place. PITA? Yes, but it'll ensure you continue to have trouble-free operation of your clutch.
