Oil Pan Bolt Under Tranny
(1/1)

One of the two oil pan bolt holes located under the tranny is cross-threaded. Do I need to unbolt and move tranny to retap hole or can I notch the tranny to get a straight tap? Or is there another, easier way?
thanks.
ORCoaster:
What do you think about using the next size of the bolt but make it a self-tapping one? Be easier than cutting a clearance hole I would expect. The oil pan bolts are 6 mm I think, You could upsize to 7 mm.
Just thoughts.
mstephenson:
Thanks. That sounds doable. Only the first two threads or so are crossed. The idea of botching this is not appealing.
