P-G solenoid threads
« on: July 05, 2016, 03:02:52 PM »
Had trans repaired and was told threads at TB solenoid were weak.Solenoid was installed with J-B Weld in case. Solenoid started to push out of case!! What is a good fix for case threads? [ over 30 runs on last fix].

If it's a stock case why not just replace the case with a new one .

How about Heli-Coil, or Tyme-Serts , to repair threads ?

I don't think their is enough meat to drill for heli-coil,but I will check.It is such a odd size.

Not sure of the thread size. But I agree if it is a stock case, then just replace it. If it is an aftermarket case some creative welding could be done to close up the hole enough to redrill and tap.
