How to fix cross threaded tranny support holes. 200

posted by  someone claiming to be mario on  Thu Apr 4 02:59 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Thanks again for all your help, I have replaced my rear seal, pilot bearing, and clutch assembly on my 82 242. Now I have the tranny in, but I am having trouble with the holes where the tranny crossmember bolts onto the bottom of the car. Two of the four appear cross threaded.

How should I go about fixing them? I am afraid that a tap will just destroy the threads completely (I have experience with that). Would a thread chaser do the same thing? Since this is a bottemless hole, would a helicoil work? Can I get access to the other side of the hole to place a nut or bolt there? Is it possible to drill those holes out bigger and tap with a bigger size? What should I do???

Thanks,

mario m
