Re: Questions on how to proceed
I don't see an easy way to fix that...
You could try and drill out the hole(s) a little more to clean them up, then reverse tap and screw a helix insert into it. That would be too large for a bolt that would fix the pan, but then screw something into the helix insert, then drill and tap that to the bolt size needed for the pan. You could try and fill the holes with epoxy of some sort, then tap that, but that seems even hackier than the helix inserts. Good luck! Ian. |

Re: Questions on how to proceed
Well it's not pretty, but I'd be surprised if a gasket wouldn't seal that. I agree with Blacky, I think you'll be ok. I would say you'll need a new pan if yours isn't perfectly flat.
Personally, if you can't get the normal bolts to hold in those holes, I'd grab something just slightly larger out of the hardware bucket that can be sent in there. It'll tap it's own threads. Maybe because I've never had a helicoil work out. And hopefully you never need to remove the pan again, on that transmission anyway. That's not the correct way, but that's worked for me many times with these soft aluminum motors.

Re: Questions on how to proceed
Just to update everyone: The new axles are working great!
.. But the transmission is bleeding like a stuck pig, so it has to go... Which means the axles have to come right back out again, and probably go in the garbage since they won't work with whatever trans I end up putting in there. Oh well. A guy near me has a WRX trans for $350 bucks... |

Re: Questions on how to proceed
If you replace it with another auto the axles should be fine. The Outback trans in my '92 was the same.

Re: Questions on how to proceed
all the 4EAT Phase 1 transmissions will use the SVX axles, and Many of the 5-speeds will also use the stock front axles.

Re: Questions on how to proceed
I heard that the Nissan Patrol used the same gearbox as the SVX ?? so could be a cheaper source of parts.
I also get my used parts from www.jauce.com without any issues. or New parts from https://www.amayama.com/en
