if the crack does not affect the running of the motor, get some JB Weld and patch it. just be sure it is for what ever metal the case is. it is probably aluminum, so get the appropriate JB weld.

I would take the case off and take it to a weld shop. I cracked the case on my Honda transmision and had it welded and never had any issues out of it. A weld shop weld will be much stronger than JB weld. (Just my opinion).

I'm guessing this is a Warrior? If it is, you can find used replacement parts everywhere. JB weld will work wonders, but it is crued and will not be accepted good by anyone looking to buy. To get max dollars for it, the best thing to do would be to change the lower end or what I would do is just change the left case and use your existing internal guts. The problem is with a used lower end, you don't know what kind of shape it's in. Make sure on your next bike to keep the chain tight and it will not jump off.

if u are going to use epoxy use quick steel, much easier to work with and is pretty strong. also check ur swingarm bearings and axle bearings for play and for a bent rear sprocket
