I had an awesome thing happen today. As I was putting the subframe on to the frame, the bolt on the shifter side completely pulled out the threads. Now I can't torque it down to spec and not sure what to do. Researched putting in a time sert but they're expensive as hell.
Anyone have any other ideas that I can use to repair this?
What about a helicoil?
Cheap kits on eBay.
Research indicates Helicoils are actually stronger than both, the original threads in alloy, and timeserts. But timeserts are designed to be better for things which come apart regularly, like sump plugs.
