blandy 29 Posted October 29, 2017 Does anyone know the thread of the gearbox mounting bolts - specifically the lowest one by the driveshaft. After building up a box a little while ago I decided to fit it today only to find out the threads in the lowest hole are far from ideal so looking to possibly helicoil as really don't want to end up swapping casings Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blandy 29 Posted November 7, 2017 Thanks guessing a helicoil should be adequate? Concerns me that there’s only a single bolt on the lower side of the box. I’ve only just built the box as well which is a pain otherwise I’d stick the internals into a spare xsara case I have which has the extra part that bolts to the sump.

welshpug 1,622 Posted November 7, 2017 yep, should be stronger than the original thread, a timesert may be an idea if its a thread thatll be undone a few times rather than just the once. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
