Swapped in a Tremec 5 speed in my car years ago. At the time one of the ears on the front case that bolts to the bellhousing had been broke off and welded back. The transmission was leaking between where the front and rear case meet. Took it out to have it sealed and an ear on the other side of the front case has snapped!

Anyone have any leads on where to pick up a new front case for this at a decent price?

Side of the front case:
TREMEC
C-2605865

Which Tremec?

Googling that number suggests it's a 3550.

I was told it was a 3550 when I bought it. Has 6 bolts holding down the shifter.

Edit: went out and looked and the stamped tag hanging off the housing says 3550

Right! I have a couple calls in to some tremec shops. Looks like this is a common problem with early makes of the 3550 and not much ribbing for support. New cases have extra ribs in the areas where this is broke.
