Title: Oil Pan Bolt Under Tranny
Post by: mstephenson on July 08, 2021, 10:19:58 am

1.9 1Y
5-speed

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.

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.

Thanks. That sounds doable. Only the first two threads or so are crossed. The idea of botching this is not appealing.
