rear iron gearbox mount missing

my new engine just turned up and the gearbox mounting point under the oil filter has been snapped off some how ( must have taken some serious abuse )
instead of having 6 mounting points the gearbox will now have 5.
Is this going to make a serious impact on engine longentivity?
