Hello
I am facing a new problem on my 2007 lariat 4x4 5.4 truck.
This week I changed the trans liquid and the filter.
In the bolts of the pan was really tight very strong.
Result 1 hole is half bare.
So I used a longer bolt.
Obviously the transmission does not lose.
But I will like to repair my hole with a helicoil.
The damaged hole and the one that is next to the accumulator piston 1-2 (driver's side) on the front of the transmission.
Do you think it is possible to place a helicopter at this location?
Is there an internal oil line to the transmission that passes right next to that hole?


Thanks for your help

 

Is it leaking? If not I would not fix it. You might be able to get a 'tap & die' set and enlarge
the hole to the next size.

 

I'd try this route first, you've gotta drill it out for a helicoil either way.

 

Tap and die vote as well

 

Hello everyone.
For the moment there is no trace of fluid under the vhéicule.
I traveled 2000 miles of 1000 with 4000 pounds.
The levels look good.
I hope she will continue to be waterproof

 

You're good. Consider it fixed! :-)*

 

Good job! luckily, it was an easy fix!
