The new part is in excess of $350, is there work around for the crack? Vac testing has shown the problem to be the hairline crack in the Plastic cover. Car stalls at traffic light and stop signs, runs okay otherwise. Transmission disengages as it should when stopping, but unless I keep it revved up it will stall when waiting at a light or stop sign. Please help if you can. thank you.

if it is cracked, then it has to be replaced. there are sealants like jb weld and pc7 but they are temporary at best due to expansion and contraction.
