Re: Stripped mount holes on tranny!!!
 

it is not the impact that is damaging the threads.

It is the idiots who try to pull the tranny into place without fully jacking it into place.

A buddy in detroit is known for this. The old tranny of his, now in a different Sol, all three holes were helicoiled :)

He also doesn't think letting the engine hang from 2 mounts while swapping the tranny hurts anything.......until he ripped the lower AC mount and motor also hit the floor, while he was under it :)

Re: Stripped mount holes on tranny!!!
 

helicoil = $80
tap & bolts = $20

Re: Stripped mount holes on tranny!!!
 

Where the ---- are you getting those prices?

Re: Stripped mount holes on tranny!!!
 

That isn't right. a helicoil kit is only like $35, and that includes the tap, coil tool, and like 12 inserts.

Re: Stripped mount holes on tranny!!!
 

Thats what the shop quoted me by my house, guess dudes just trying to dick me, Can you pick up helicoil kits at home depot? I'm just waitin for my ride to get here and i'm heading over to home depot to grad some ---- to make a MBC (15psi by days end) if i get the tranny ---- fixed. Helicoil kts don't seem to be readily availible around here, Them again in my area everything is so comercial (AZ,PB) just a bunch of bull ---- stores that don't know dick about anything.
