Default Cracks on manual transmission housing!?

Hello everybody!

By doing my oil change ghetto style in my tempo tonight, i noticed something that traumatised me.. My 01 accord coupe, with manual transmission, wich i bought about 3 months ago from a honda dealer, has actually 82 000km.. On the housing of the transmission, on the underside of the car, especially around the differential and the side of the passenger side axel, has cracks , little shallow cracks.. except this big one, from the differential to the tip of the axel side.. WTF!? i mean, WTF!! ive never seen this before.. not even my 10 years old accord doesnt have that..its rusty, yes, but its not cracked..

I have pics, but dunno how to post..

Hey, is it me or the 6th gen is very f*cken cheap compared to the 5th gen!? i mean, 3 years old car, and more plastic noises from the inside than my 10 years old one!?

those lines are produced during the casting process, it's completely normal....

To post pictures, you first have to upload the pictures onto an online hosting site like Image Station or any others that are out there. Then copy and paste the URL between these][ in this [IMG][/IMG]. I hope that made sense.
