If you have the piece that broke yes it can be done. I did it to the one in my car presently ](*,) Was in a hurry and didnt realize the trans wasnt all the way in, snap! Local welder tig'ed it back on, ground it down, went in and lined up fine once I payed attention :roll:

That was just from a quick look. You could probably find used cases online (craigslist, ebay, etc.) for cheaper, but at the same time if you buy it sight-unseen you're taking a chance at something being wrong with the case. Also see if any local transmission shops may be able to get one (or have one on the shelf) :)

If a local welder can TIG weld an ear back on, he's more than capable of doing a weld buildup on the area and grinding it flush on the face.
