A few minor issues while chang'n the trans fluid today, so look'n for suggestions

some of today’s cars just use sealant on the trans pans. If some gets inside, the filter will catch it.
Oversize bolt and a tap will fix the stripped bolt. Refrain from using power tools. Dont have a torque spec, but it isnt much.
Like all you can do with a nut driver.

I like to contact cement gasket to the pan. Thats all i use for sealant.

Thanks TJ, I ended up deciding to try and install a heli-coil, because i actually found that i had 2 striped holes right next to each other. I hadn't install one before, so I was uneasy about it, especially since I was work'n from under the car with about a foot of room. BUT, happy to say, it was a piece of pie, just took it slow with the tap, and the coil screwed right in. the kit was a bit pricey at $25 had to buy the drill bit separate, (21/64"), added a few more bucks, but $'s well spent i think, and all the bolts will be the OEM size.DSCF4922.JPG
*for others that find this post with same Questions,etc. Here are the torque specs for all, and the conversion to foot lbs. (I only have a ft.lb torque wrench)
