Default MY ENGINE FELL OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING

now that i got your attention, Yesterday while i was driving, when i accelerated i heard like something slapping the car in towards teh rear, i thought it was the muffler, and i was right, but then when i shifted, i felt the shift **** moving way too much when i accelerated, i pulled over and checked everything out, since it was dark and didnt see much anything wrong, so since we were close i headed towards my friends house to drop him off, and i made a right and i heard a big knock and i felt that i gave it gas the rpm just went up and i went nowhere ( i knew that i just busted a joint and pulled over ) noticed that the car was sorta sloping towards the RIGHT SIDE OF THE CAR ( TRANNY SIDE ) not too much but i noticed even in the dark around 11:00pm we used our cell phones to check it out , and i noticed that my joint was gone it was broken in half , but my friend noticed that the motor mount connecting to the transmission , best way to illustrate this

the bolts wents through the metal, becuase i noticed that the motor mount had like holes were there bolts go , and it looked like it was pulled out, since i think that the weight of the tranny couldnt have done this, so im wondering what could have done this, ill try to bring pictures, but since i dont have a ride, and its not close to my house i cant yet, ill get some, but

what could have done this, how could the the bolts just be ripped of the metal like that? i wonder if it had some pressure from the engine, ****, i bought the car about 3 weeks ago. so fucken i never thought that this **** what happen, so has this happaned to anyone, I HOPE NOT, but if it has, or do you knwo anything that might have done this.

any help with my problem and my bad luck is welcomed, ( oh yeah, the same day, 1 hour before, i got pulled over in a parking lot going home from a jamba juice and got my hood popped, and they complained about the MSD coil that is there, so im having some bad luck with my cars, and i gotta go set a date with the smog ref too.)

if the nut welded to the bracket is stripped, just use a longer bolt and hold it on with a nut

take flicks...im not really sure what your talking about...
if in fact u stripped the nut the only other permanent solution would be to weld a new bracket to the chassis or weld a new nut onto the bracket...or just do it the easy way like i said....they will all work fine,if the problem is what i imagine it to be...take flicks so i can give you a positive answer

WAIT WAIT, i didnt strip the nut, looks like the nut is fine, just that the nut broke the metal, imagine the nut on there, and a half centimeter circumfarence around that nut, NUTS, was like , its like

if you pull on a NUt that is on a piece of sheet metal and you pull on it enought that the nut comes through, its weird, but tahts what happened,

i got a friend that might have a extra mount, but its from a 92 honda civic VX hathback, will that fit mine????, ill see if i can buy it off him if it fits, GONNA BE UP so if any of you all know if it will fit my D15 honda crx 1991 let me know so i can buy it off him

No.

EGs have different transmission mounts than EFs. go to the junkyard and get yerself a new mount...

also, slow down when you describe your problems. Your posts arn't making a bit of sense to me. Try not to type as if you were talking.
