Default B16 trans mount holes pic: wtf?

I just swapped my mounts for some with inserts on my B16a 94 hatch. i noticed so real shady lookin stuff going on the with trans case threaded holes for the 3 bolt mount. I expected they would be flat and line up perfect but some kind of monkey **** is going on here they are grinded and on some funny angle and one uses a washer to help with it. I put the new energy mount on and reinstalled as it came off to spec (this has been like this 10 years? or did the shop that did the clutch do something here maybe?) which is very very unlikly
concerns? this car gets abused on the track!

The bosses are broken, you should replace the outer half of the transmission case. Note that this will require shimming the diff and the mainshaft.

how could this happen! and strange the shop that changed the clutch out didnt mention it. if they didnt do it its been like this about 10 years and i guess could continue to be used like this. that would cost a lot to pull the trans and replace the case etc

Those are old breaks, it looks like someone tried to grind down the high spots on two of them though so a spacer would sit flat.

good eye. well, maybe I should use washers on all the instead of just the farthest flat one. but then again its been fine. the old mount had no abnormal issues and new used one with inserts was tightened down to spec. the car has had like 500 passes on those mounts if not more as it is since early 2000. crazy. and im hoping the insert mounts arent too stiff and rattle the hell out of these hack holes.

noted tho when and if i pull this swap i will change out the case! i have no trust in this seeing this issue. cant even find one like it on the internet
