The topic says it all really... my friend and I... (or rather, he) did the tranny mount on my car today. Aside from the fact that the fit was really crappy (had to drill the crossmember to accept the bolt that goes up into the mount), we snapped a bolt... We probably didn't have the tranny supported well enough, and when he went to break it, he did, quite literally. We got it all back together and on and everything, everything tight, and I drove it home, trying to take it easy. My question is, how important is that 4th crossmember bolt, can I drive around for a month like I did with my broken tranny mount and not worry, or should I empty my bank account to have it drilled and retapped by a shop immediatly? It will get done -eventually-, I just need to know where to put it on my priority list. Any advice/help is greatly appreciated.

I would put it on a "to do" list, but its not vital.

It will most likely be fine.
