I am hoping someone on the list has been down this road before. I just
finished installing the trans on my BJ8 after replacing the clutch,
refurbishing the trans, etc. I was bolting up the clutch slave cylinder and
the threads in the top hole stripped. It's a 3/8 fine thread bolt. There is
very little space to work with in there. About 2.5 inches clearance, so its
impossible to get a drill or tap in there unless I can find a short tap. I
really don't want to pull the trans again if there is any alternative. Your
thoughts will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Tom
