Found a replacement
I looked at a whole bunch of options yesterday but decided to purchase a used one. Found a used replacement drum complete with pistons and clutch plates. I will have to open the replacement cage to replace the o-rings but otherwise it should be a drop in. Unfortunately it will come by snail-mail but maybe I can work on the engine in the interim.
Only decision now is whether to refurbish everything in the transmission again, including the thrust bearings this time or just get a handful of parts needed to insert tower II and then button it back up with a fresh filter in the pan. Inclined to the latter but I may have to get the full overhaul kit just to get the O-rings I need....
TBH, I am still completely baffled how there was no trace of a crack when I had it open at 93k miles and now this?
