Default Bolt snaped..

Last night when I was driving around I went to drive the car hard and the linkage falls off. I know its because of my motor mounts now and I fixed that problem but when I went to put my linkage back on, the one that bolts the the transmisson sorta underneath the link itself. The car was still warm and I was half way asleep wasnt really paying attention just wanted to get the car fixed.

I broke the bolt that holds the bushing and the ext. rod on. Its about half way in there. Any ideas what to do or iam out of luck. I have a small set of drill outs but iam afraid thats going to mess up the threads. Any ideas please?

don't be afraid to drill it. if you screw up real bad you can always helicoil it.
