Is it possible to weld a new or different bellhousing on a transmission?
And if so how?

Here is a pic of the tranny.

After looking at the photo and re-thinking the welding thing, yes that transaxle can be used. That case is aluminum and shows no sign of grease leaking from the area of damage. I would trim it up, make a fixture that mounts inplace of the "T" bearing and use it to square up a piece of aluminum plate. The plate could then be carefully welded to the trimmed case at a depth that would allow a bellhousing to be bolted up. Easy peasy.

BTW is this common? Can these trannys be purchased cheap?

Brad,

How do you run one mid engine style?

Does it require some kind of an oil pump if it's up side down?

Is there clearance under the trunk floor with the axle that way?
