Left hand drill bits. Available from Snap-On, Enco and I think Harbor 
Freight.

This way while drilling out the bolt, if the drill bit catches the bolt 
and turns it, the bolt comes out!

While the solution is simply adding a washer, I wish the PO had thought of that prior to breaking the head off the bolt :-(. It explains the transmission leak, but now leaves me trying to figure out how to get the steel bolt out of the aluminum housing without ancillary damage. It seems that something might be out of adjustment or alignment for this to occur? Thanks for any input.
