Stripped the upper tranny mount bolt holes. Now what?????
Pulled my tranny today to install the new clutch. Everything went smooth until i reinstalled the upper tranny mount bolts.
I stripped out the 2 holes below:
What can i do to fix these? Helicoil maybe?
Anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks, JV

Tap & Die.
They (one of the 2) are used to fix threads
Try a search on "stripped bolt" or something along that line and you should get some info on what I am talking about.

you're gonna have to tap it out larger, instal helacoil, and then use your old bolts...
how did you strip those??? Diddn't you have a jack under the tranny while you were loosening them???
Healacoil is your best bet and easiest bet now

I stripped them using an air ratchet (
on me) while i was reinstalling them...
Installation tip of the day:
