How to fix cross threaded tranny support holes. 200

posted by  someone claiming to be mechanic on  Thu Apr 4 03:36 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Start with the simplest. Chase the threads, you may have only crossthreaded the first few.

Drill out the hole to next size and tap new threads.

BTW I have used helicoils where there is no stop at the back. All I do is use STUDLOCK grade Loctite. Coat the helicoil with Studlock and screw into the hole till it is flush. let the loctite dry and you should be ok. I have used this a number of times on both steel and aluminum with no problems on torgue.
