Thanks guys, looking into a drill. Been needing one just have not had an excuse to buy untill now lol.

First off make sure you know how to do it and dont drill too far or something. And i see no reason why you cant do it with the pan on. All youre doing is drilling and threading.

Thats what i thought, anyways no idea what i am doing lol.

But i imagine drilling a hole cant be that hard. Also pretty sure the bits for helicoil are blunt on the tip so you dont drill any deeper than whats there already

[CyFi6]

something that helps also, put a nail or something narrow in the hole before you start and use that to measure how deep it is, then wrap a piece of tape around your drill bit at that length so you know how far you can go when drilling.


Just like that

Wow. these are the kind of things i need to be told about heh

Vry helpful thanks

I think the mechanic was covering his ass/ wanting more money when he told me he had to remove the pan to do it....

However i guess it depends on how these much the helicoils drill out the hole, if its too much ill prolly just remove the pan anyways to avoid drilling it out too much

I didnt mind paying him like 20-40 buts to rethread that one hole
But i will not pay him to remove pan and replace fluid etc.etc

Plus i just put brand new fluid in it Redline d4 ATF and do not feel like paying for more lol. If i have to remove pan i will be saving and reusing the fluid lol

do these pans have drain plugs? If so you can just drain the fluid and reclaim it in a few bottles. If there isnt any drain plug its kind of hard to save it and remove the pan at the same time i usually get half the fluid all over the floor lol
