What next?

Well I was just outside trying to change my trans mount (again). When I break one of the bolts to the crossmember, it sheard right off, no thread to look at just the end of it is sitting there. So, now what do I do?

i'd weld a nut a little larger than the bolt on it and see if you can get it out that way. if not my next move would be to drill it out with the tap drill and retap the hole.

Well I changed the mount and as of now I have 3 bolts holding the crossmember on.
Any problem with having only 3 bolts on it? at least temporarily?

No I don't see a problem with using 3 bolts temporarily. I used 3 on a temp basis when I did my first swap and had no problems.

You do need to get it fixed though...
