Question Slave cylinder breaks off its mount

My clutch slave cylinder has broken off its mount on the bellhousing. It happened once before, and I had a family friend of ours weld it back on with some metal plates a couple months ago. It has since broken off again. pic attached.

Does anyone know where I can just purchase a new bellhousing? Whenever I look online I don't see ones that have the mount for the slave cylinder, even though I've put in the correct search info.

1995, 3.4 v6, manual tranny

any help is appreciated, thanks!

Compare the "clocking positions" to where the trans bolts to the bellhousing. I thought the 4th gens T5 was angled differently, but I could be mistaken. Better safe than sorry.

Hey guys, tomorrow I will attempt to remove the transmission and bell from the car. I've got a Haynes and if I follow the directions, I'm pretty sure I can do this myself (by "myself" Ii mean not paying a shop).

But just to make sure, the gist of removal is like this (correct me if i'm wrong):

1. Remove shift lever.
2. Remove trans-to-bell bolts.
3. Pull back, lower, and remove trans.
4. Remove bell-to-engine bolts
5. Take off bellhousing.
6. Wipe the sweat off my brow.

Does that seem about right? By the way, as I'll have my transmission out, what do you guys think I should check for wear? Like what parts could I/should I replace?

Thanks in advance!

its a great time to replace the clutch. even tho it may not need it right now, removing the trans is a pita and your 99% there.

1a. Remove driveshaft. Try as you may, that darn trans isn't coming out with the driveshaft in the way!

Haha, got the driveshaft and torque arm out already, just waiting for the bell on my doorstep.

But other than that, sounds good?
