Yuk. I've seen them with 3 transfer bolts stripped so its not that unusual, lol (especially for Q to be stripped).

Of course, you know how the crack happened and you know what needs to be done. But which way is the question.

If it was our trannies, no big deal. Just flip out bellhousings. No easy flipping here because they start undoing from the nose.

I'm thinking your best bet is to just weld up the crack. But be sure that you drill out the end of the crack first, so the it doesn't continue.

But I suspect you already know that and are just venting right now :cry
