I'm thinking the top starter bolt is also just stripped but it used to be 3/8". As for the trans mounts, going to get some long 7/16" bolts tomorrow. The trans is really loose. I can push up and feel it moving which doesn't seem right.

Update-Bolts installed. Doesn't die in reverse now plus I got rid of an engine vibration at 1500RPM that I couldn't figure out. I guess they were connected. I only got the two lower ones on. No way I could have got to the two on the top. I think the two lower ones were 7/16, 3" but for the one that was missing, I ended up putting a 3/8, 3.5" bolt all the way through and put a nut on the other end. Luckily, they hole on the engine flange was drilled through so I could do that.

Will do-Just have to figure out how to look at them. Couldn't get close underneath unless I'm looking at the wrong area. I can see the CPS bolts. If the CPS is at 10 o'clock, is the engine bolt at 11 and 1 right?
Scary to be driving now that I know how loose it was. I wonder if there are bolts on the top at all.
