Default stripped threads inside tranny!

ok...i was putting on my tranny mount and there seems to be no threads in the hole for the far left bolt....there are some but it doesnt want to tighten...im thinkin get it helicoiled...but would that be strong enough to hold an engine mount bolt? any other input would help alot. thanks guys

id say that your probably gonna want to weld and re-thread, its gonna be your best option. shouldnt cost all that much either. on any mount parts i would not mess around!

missing 1 bolt isnt gonna hurt anything
i ran with 2 for 6 months because i lost the other one, then found it on the floor later
just make sure the other 2 arent going anywhere.
