Get a metal strap. Bolt one end to the bellhousing using one of the mounting holes, then bolt the other end to the firewall using any number of spare holes.

Short distances (100 feet or so) won't matter, but if towing any length of time the tranny should be supported to avoid damage to the output bearing.
