Yep! BTDT and even worse. At some point the lower bolts loosened/broke and the works started to fall or this was done a removal-install. Also with age the casting has become corroded, brittle. I've had them towed in with the bottom studs busted, the clutch disk hub disintegrated and damage to the trans input shaft including that first needle bearing torn up.

I was just using my old H2OBoxer BellHousing as a BoltHoleTemplet for an H2OBxr/Subaru EngineStand I'm piecing together when I noticed an odd line on it near the CrossShaftHole ~ 'Tis a Crack ~ Have a look ~ https://picasaweb.google.com/109991183317103413704/VDUBARU?authkey=Gv1sRgCMW 42OH705nRDA #5859092773518536482 Has any one of you ever seen this happen before? I am even more glad now that I decided to use the SmallCar BellHousing when I did my conversion to EJ25.
