6MT starter stud

I've sent Tom a PM, but until he responds, what do you guys do with the helicoil to fit the starter stud on the 6 speeds?

I've removed the 4EAT stud, but the hole in the 6 speed is a bit bigger, meaning you'd need to pack it out with something to get the stud to bite.

Also, is it easier to do with the 6MT out, or can it be done in the car...the only reason is I'm keen to get it in tonight if I can.

Thanks,
Matt

Mike, a bolt? Did you bolt the starter on before you bolt the gearbox on? That could work I guess...

could you just tack a nut inside?

-edit-
How about reversing a lock washer too?
With the trans installed you can reach in and feed the bolt and washer through the hole, install starter and be able to apply minimum pressure to the threads to steady the bolt as you tighten the nut up.

Or just use a stud installer to steady the bolt while you tighten the nut down. That may be the best way.

No, the bolt I used was the correct threads for the hole. The tranny was already in the car when I had an issue, and the starter was already in, being held in by the other side. Assuming I understand what your saying, I had mine come out also. The hole on mine was threaded.


If your taking about something else, sorry I confused you.
