I have a 1991 Oldsmobile 98 Regency Elite. The transmission housing
cracked one day (its the part where the output shaft come out of, there
is also some kind of sensor on it). The crack went all the way around
it, and almost split the peice in half. After removing this part, the
inside has really bad wear from something. It was rubbing against it
and eventually caused it to become so weak it crack. The housing part
was replaced, and not 10 mins later, that housing cracked. Im lost on
what I should do. Does the trans need to be replaced. When It cracked,
I lost all of my trans fluid, as it all leaked out of the crack. The
crack is wide enought to fit a quarter through it (in thickness).
Please help if you can

From what you describe, another trans., sigh. From what you state, the
new housing cracked, meaning something is way off kilter [unless there
is a falut in the housing itself, which i rather doubt]. That means
something is cracking the housing, and since you state the inside has
bad wear, I'd suggest bite the bullet, get another trans., if the car
is worth it.
