Default Stripped threads on tranny side motor mount

Followed the torque specs in the FSM but I got duped. One of the bolts holding the mount in seems to have stripped threads now (doesn't tighten anymore), and now I'm not sure what to do... I've attached a pic with the bolt that I'm refering to. Does anyone have any advice?

Default RE: Stripped threads on tranny side motor mount

Pretty tough problem. If the nut weld broke your screwed. If not then take a prybar/large screwdriver and get under the bolt and back it out. Then rethread the nut. Theres no surefire way to fix it. it depends on how it comes out. If you have a welder you could tack it if unable to get it out. Basicly you have some work ahead of you.
