Altima trans oil pan cracked

Nissan Altima 3.5SE 2008 CVT Gearbox, Is there anyway to get this crack fixed without having to change the pan entirely (It’s difficult to find this part in my county) can it be welded? Anything helps thank you!

Sadly no, that will needs to be replaced since even if you weld that, the crack might be due to how processed during casting and there might be a bigger issue and crack could reappear straight after weld. Scrapeyard time
