so i finally went to change my gearbox mount, its been bad ever since i changed clutch last year, clutch still holding with 19202 km behind it, and guess what happened, gearbox mount bolt snapped

everything i touch on this car breaks

advices?
weld a nut over it?
drill old one out?
weld bolt on it and remove old one?

will it hold gearbox with only 2 bolts?



-------
looking at these numbers its probably time to change oil +filters too as they were changed 3 months after clutch almost 18000 km ago

drill it and use a quality extractor

thanks uncle dave gonna try with this extractor tomorrow

The trouble is if it snapped then it's tight in the threads and that type of extractor usually snaps off in that situation and is very hard to drill out so I'd cut to the chase and just drill it out in the first place. What can work, however, is to drill it and then hammer a Torx bit in.

was drilling it for 30mins and wasnt going anywhere so my buddy welded it over

Bob the Bodger strikes again!
