All things considered, I would FIRST consider seeing if a good welding shop will consider welding the crack, while transmission is still in the car, or perhaps welding a sealing/cover plate OVER the crack.
If a GOOD shop says the crack can be repaired, then I would do the "reverse gear repair" before the welding is done. I've never done it, but it doesn't sound too hard.

If the popping out of reverse is successfully fixed, THEN I'd have the transmission case repaired. Change the 10W-30 transmission oil a couple times, and enjoy.
