Dogbone engine mount cracked engine casing

[woolfy96]

Im new to the forum and i already need your help.
I have a 1.2 Renault Clio and after setting off from a set of traffic lights i put it into second and all of a sudden there was a crack noise and a lost all gears, i have had it towed onto my drive but i have just found out that the rear engine mount has snapped completely off but taken the casing with it so there is no thread there anymore.
needing a bit of help on coming up with a solution, any ideas?

Helicoil it

Do you have the missing piece?
Could get it welded back on and have the thread heli-coiled.

Oh wow.
Can you drill in in further?
If you can then you could Tap the new hole and use a longer bolt

i don't have the missing piece must of bounced down the gutter or something, and there doesn't seem to be enough metal to use a helicoil

that sound possible looks like there enough meat on the metal above to try it

New gearbox. Shouldn't be expensive to get one and if you can fit it then it's not that expensive overall.

Didn't know a 1200 could launch that hard lol. GTR Style! On serious note though weld and helicoil it as said above.

Its not just any 1.2 clio its the expression pushing a massive 70bhp would rinse any GTR!

Update: Decided it not worth the money to fix it and taking it to the scrappy , it managed to take my gearbox and exhaust out with it, and the car didnt have a straight panel on it anyway, i can pick up a 1.5 dci for about £800 so looks like im going that way

Rebuild the area with chemical metal
