These plates are getting harder to find in decent condition but I have done a quick fix on them using a quality epoxy until a good replacement can be found. They usually crack like that from prying them out. Now I heat the area of the gearcase where the plate mounts to soften any sealer which is holding it in.
If you go the epoxy route, the plate will first have to be cleaned really good for it to bond. After applying it to the plate, I install the plate, the pump housing, and the drive shaft to help keep everything in line. After letting it set up overnight, it can be reassembled permanently or at least until a replacement is found.
