Do you mean the bellhousing?
or motor mount?
or starter?
or reverse light?
or speedometer cable?

any sort of better description you could give us?

i know i'm a bit late on the post but i had the same problem and it exploded my clutch.got a new one put in a weld job done.did 2 burnouts and weld broke.you have to make sure u have someone who can weld good to the block.they will probably weld a thick nut to the block to thread the bolt to.haven't had any problems so far.

the weld will brake if they dont completely penetrate the metal, so make sure you get someone with a badass welder

it has held fine for me. after the guy welded it on he beat it with a hammer to see if it would come off, and it didnt. im not sure of the kind of welder her has, but it did work for me.
