Posted March 21, 20196 yr comment_571481 Threads on the captive nut at the right-side end of the transmission mount are in lousy shape. I tried to tap out the hole but it still looks ugly, and the bolt won't go in smoothly. I don't think I've got much left there. So my question is if install hel-coil, will it be strong enough to withstand the torque of the transmission?

March 21, 20196 yr comment_571492 Heli-coil is really only a temporary fix, do it right with a Time-cert and never think about it again, you might also want to replace that bolt with a new one if it is chewed up.

March 21, 20196 yr Author comment_571496 Thanks Granny (as always). The new bolt was always in the cards. 8.8 grade and bigger head (yea I know, it's not original, but who else is going to be crawling under the tranny?). "Time-cert" is a term I'm not familiar with, but will be looking it up asap.

March 21, 20196 yr comment_571499 I haven't used Time-serts in the past but I have used Keen-sert inserts. They're made for high strength joints in low strength materials, like aluminum transmission housings.
