STANDARD PROCEDURE - ALUMINUM THREAD REPAIR
Damaged or worn threads, in the aluminum transmission case and valve body can be repaired by the use of Heli-Coils TM, or equivalent. This repair consists of drilling out the worn-out damaged threads. Then tap the hole with a special Heli-Coil TM tap, or equivalent, and installing a Heli-Coil TM insert, or equivalent, into the hole. This brings the hole back to its original thread size. Heli-Coil TM, or equivalent, tools and inserts are readily available from most automotive parts suppliers.
