i have the stock tranny its the tr700r4 think thats the one that comes with it but its the tr tranny....anyways i have two bolts that are stripped and just spin when tighten them... i tryed switching bolts around and the hole is stripped anybody know the size of the hole so i can tap it? is that the easiest way to fix it?

 

m8 1.25

 

A tap won't do any good, if the threads are stripped out of the hole. Kind of hard to cut new threads in metal that's not there any more.

You'll need to Heli-Coil the holes.

 

i was told i can tap the 5/16 hole to a 3/8 hole to make it work is that possible? whats a heli coil and where do i buy that at?

 

i got all the things to tap it to 3/8 will it work?? anybody

 

It will work. If memory serves, the tap will go right in.

 

What holes?

If its the trans pan bolts, they make oversize self tapping screws in the Help section.

Gets u a couple oddball bolts, but it works quite well.

I would personally helicoil it, but some people arent machanical in nature so the Help stuff would still be a valid fix.

i fixed it this morning i used a little bit longer bolt and put a nut on the bolt cause it reached threw and screwed into the nut much easier then tapping...
