!!!! Dude! What did you do!?! You F*ed that thing up! lol....What kind of fluid is that? Tranny? Brake?

Wheres that located? Can you drive your car with it like that?? Your definitly going to need it fixed. Looks like a professional shop is going to have to fix it & install a new piece. I dont think your going to be able to re-thread that....

the pictures show my transmission bolt area. There is only about 5 threads that is holding the bolt in. I think when they worked on my trans they put the bolt in wrong and just messed it all up. Then when I changed the fluid pieces of metal just came out....i was like omg WTF?!?! yup. sucks huh.

lol....brake fluid...?....how'd you think it was that?.....anyways...tranny fluid is always a pinkish red color....

go to pep boys or where ever...and tell em you want the kit to re-thread the inside of that shit...costs like 7 or 30 bucks...i know, i know, big difference in price, but I forget....

but it's important you get the right one...cause there are 2 different ones....one for the outside of a bolt, and one for the inside of shit like that.....

damn the thread got stripped. if you're going to rethread it, you'll need to get it a size larger (larger hole) and a bolt that goes w/ it. you'll just have to note your bolt size just in case whenever if you lose the bolt, you know the new size right away

Actually a simple fix with the proper size Heli-coil. I've repaired many similiar stripped plugs in aluminum.
Any good motorcycle shop will have the tools or know where to send you.
Good luck Smoky
