Learn from my mistake: clunking diagnosis

Since the mounting boss on the tranny is aluminum you could re-tap, say 12x1.25mm, without having to hog out much material. Just take it slow and use cutting oil, then you'd have a solid OEM-look repair. Otherwise go with 10mm grade-8 or grade-10 hardware from your local fastener supply to properly through-bolt. Then you should be covered for shear.

I think we're on different pages of the same book Joe, I was talking about through bolting the mount itself, to make it solid (and to keep from $pending money on a new one)...
Here is what I meant...
