has anyone ever stripped the threads on the tranny for the slave cylinder? whats an easy and sufficient fix? i guess my options are longer bolt (if possible), use a standard bolt, or get a thread insert. im inclined to use a longer bolt or standard bolt bc its easier. and if u think about it, since it was so easy to strip the threads due to overtightening, the slave cyl probably doesnt need to be on there that tight anyway...

Back when I had my original H23, I had trouble starting a bolt on the slave and cross-threaded it upon insertion. I've recently had to replace the slave on my H22 and did not have any trouble tightening it once I made sure it wasn't cross-threaded.

Conclusion: it sucks replacing I know. I recommend you tap out the threads to the next size bolt, be it standard or not - and try again. There may be room for a longer bolt, but I don't think that would be any easier to do it that way. You do need it to be snug - aluminum is weak and a torque wrench might be helpful as well.

--Edit-- You could heli-coil it if you want to go all out. It's really not necessary though.

i ended up using longer bolts and it worked for me. the threading goes in about 40mm while the bolt is about 25mm
