Trans Mount

Ok When I bought my Camaro there was a busted bolt in the trans so I drilled it and when I was re-tapping it the tap busted off inside the trans. I had never tapped anything so I didnt know how hard to turn. I tried drilling the tap but its tool steel and crap is it hard. Any ideas help please because I had to make a bracket to go to the torque arm to hold the trans down because it is all hopped up.

Well, your trying to drill through a hardened steel tap, which isnt gonna happen. You can try a diamond tip bit, which should work. It just may take some time and patients.
