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™, or equivalent. This repair consists of drilling out the worn-out damaged threads. Then tap the hole with a
special Heli-Coil™ tap, or equivalent, and installing a Heli-Coil™ insert, or equivalent, into the hole. This brings the
hole back to its original thread size.
Heli-Coil™, or equivalent, tools and inserts are readily available from most automotive parts suppliers.
