Not exactly sure if this is the correct forum, I apologize in advance if it is not.
Recently picked up a '91 with a blown motor (B3) and 5 speed. P/O started disassembly to build a DD. In the process of cleaning everything I can before I decide on what engine to put in. This will be my DD.
Started cleaning the grime off the stock tranny and it looks like the whole bellhousing and gearbox are covered in what i would describe as stress fractures. Doesn't appear that they penetrate all the way through to the inside, from what i can see. My question is, are these casting marks from the manufacture process or something that I should be worried about and just swap the tranny while its out. Don't want to waste a bunch of time /effort/ misc parts on a trash part.
I'm going to try and upload some pictures to show what I'm talking about.
