When you say 2 bolts fell out, and the 3rd broke, are you referring to the 3 bolts that hold be mount bracket to the side of the engine block (black braket mounts under timing cover) ?? Or, are you talking about the 3 bolts that hold the mount to the black braket?

After getting that bolt out, I would recommend a replacment mount kit, or at LEAST get the drivers side mount replaced with a aftermarket replacement; such as the ones we offer

There is no bushing on the motor mount inside the timing belt cover, if that's what you're referring to, but if a bolt fell in there, I'd be weary driving that car until you get it out.

bolt fragment lodges between belt and pulley --> belt snaps --> pistons smash valves --> head needs to be rebuilt, etc etc.

If the bolt really fell all the way down then you need to take off the timing belt cover completely, which involves taking off the crank pulley (a bitch), which involves removing all your accessory belts. Good luck with that. Or prey it didn't fall all the way down and use a telescopic magnetic pickup tool and maybe you will, indeed, get lucky.

hey are you talking about the tranny side.
the bolt that broke off is rather between the out going bolt from the tranny.
well there are extractor kits that work really well for these cases you can find a set in a kragen auto parts or auto zone. it's really no biggie. as at a near auto shop. but try to do it your self since it's not so hard it will just take some elbow grease.
hope that i helped somewhat.
