Something must have been wrong with another mount(s) I can't imagine that such a small aluminum tab with such tiny gussets would be designed to hold so much weight that the motor would drop 2" if it broke.
Is that where the L-shaped part of the tranny mount bolts? If so, is the top bolt of that L-shaped bracket missing? That's the only way I could see something like that happening.
