Hello, I am in the process of rebuilding my t56 and as I was removing the shifter bushing I noticed several cracks on the adapter plate near the shifter bushing hole. I don't know if this warrants getting a new adapter plate, somehow repairing it, or just leave it as is and use it. I attached pics of it and would appreciate any help. Thanks

They appear to be casting cranks, which are common on the case pieces. Given that they don't appear to be open and are on the shift rail and not the input or countershaft, I'd say not to worry about them.

Those pose absolutely no threat at all.

They are not real cracks. They are heat checks caused by a used(worn) die.
