unfortunately, I can‘t see your photo.
My housing was damaged pretty badly.
I don‘t think it could be easisly repaired by welding.
The clutch pressure plate cracked and ripped away parts of the bell housing flange. Also, all threaded holes connecting the bell housing were destroyed.
I think this case can be fixed!!!
… you have all the missing pieces??
Germany has fantastic craftsmen ! You will find a very good welder who can fix that! (call Car restoration shops)
I would clean the parts, Put the bell housing with the part onto the transmission so the crack fits perfectly together and spot Weld it a few times (some inside some outside)…
then I would grind a V 3cm at a time where the crack is and TIG weld it up! Easy does it!! The threads can be welded up and re-trimmed and threaded!
Some can be welded from the inside (outer parts) , so in the end, you could give the outside a little cleanup where the crack was And a little sandblasting in that area… Just to hide the Frankenstein effect a little bit…
That’s how I would approach it…
