I recently inherited a Prizm from a friend, and while under the car this weekend tinkering around, I noticed that the mounting studs on the top of the transmission housing, were broken off. It appears that the engine has a mount that attaches to the transmission (or vice versa) in three locations. Anyway, on one mount, only 1 bolt is threaded in, on another mount, no bolts are connected, and on a third mount, all are bolted in fine.
The car will drive ok, but I know it can't be good having 4 bolts handling what 9 normally would. What would be the recommended fix for this problem? The transmission shifts fine, it's just the housing itself that's broken.
Thanks!
