Those part numbers are for a 4-speed, not an automatic. Which trans do
you really have? The rear cover does not crack on its own. Something
broke it. There is also a vent hole on top. Is it possible the
transmission was overfilled or the oil is contaminated with water
causing it to foam and come out the vent?
