So I'm replacing the transmission mount on my 92, and I sheered of one of the bolts to the mounting bracket . How long you think I can drive it with just the three, and how do I replace the broken one?

I would fix it first before driving...How did the bolt shear? Is any of the bolt exposed enough to grab/weld onto? Do you have any pics? Too many unknowns to give a straight answer, but you need to get the broken portion of the bolt out, you may need to drill it and try an e-z out.

If they're the smaller 1/4 thread ones, replace the mount. I have a few new ones laying around for m/t if you're interested.
Otherwise you're not hurting anything.

I was thinking about doing the EZ out thing, anybody know what size that bolt is? I'm sure it's in my Haynes manual, but if anyone knows off hand, that would be helpful.
One missing won't hurt a thing. I have two missing. So I just welded the thing on there.

I was thinking about just drilling through the lip that extends off the rail and putting a nut and bolt through there. Seems solid enough.
