Unless you have damaged the area around the main shaft just repair the housing. It is so common that there are even upgrade kits available to reinforce the boss. If you have a good welder it will be stronger than the factory mounts.
BTW new parts can do the same thing. There is a specific kit that replaces the pivot shaft with a larger diam unit and a brass sleeve. I have installed this on two trans and never had a problem since.
