So I took out the stak to repair a leak and the adapter came with it:eek:. All 4 holes were stripped out of the tranny and the adapter.
Think it would be ok if I through mounted the top two holes and helicoiled the bottom two? I'm too lazy/pissed to pull the tranny and tap it to 1/2", so I'm trying to do this as easily as possible.
 
I know you want to be lazy, but it would probably be best to figure out WHY the holes were stripped. Could it have been the wrong size bolts? It would seem really difficult to crossthread 4 holes, so I doubt thats it. There shouldn't be any tension causing the problem, because the case would have pulled out on its on (if I understand correctly). Im guessing is the 4 holes seen here: http://i22.ebayimg.com/08/i/001/37/34/7779_1.JPG
If so, you should be able to drill and tap that as easy or easier than helicoil, but a through mount sounds even better.
