Got to the end of a job to find a stripped bolt. Great info here, saved me a ton of time!

Thanks for the comment, stripped pan bolts can be super frustrating to deal with!

My Jeep has been leaking all day as I have been DIYing to get new transmission fluid, filter, and pan. I've been trying to figure out why it's leaking all day. I had a gasket issue with the sealant, but I'm still working on it because one of my bolts is stripped. I worked all day on my Jeep Liberty on Labor Day, and now I have to take the next day off to fix it and put my pan back on. I hope this will do the trick.

So a m8 x 1.25 you use a 21/64 drill bit, but doesn't a 3/8 x 20 tap work better cause it's closer to the 8mm. 10 mm uses a bigger drill bit not 21/64.

[@gagefixeseverything]

Correct, I just used what I had laying around, because this was a gambler 500 vehicle.

[@zacb7427]

Had some 8mm bolts stripped out and I used 5/16th tap. Seems to work better then 8mm

You said you were going to start off with the easy one and then you never did the hard one lol

[@gagefixeseverything]

Haha you are right

[@CalvinHaslem-o3p]

​@@gagefixeseverythingany tips for the hard ones

[@thomasquinn5537]

Don't do it on Ford with the transmission pan on because you'll ruin the reusable gasket

[@gagefixeseverything]

Good point, but you could buy a new gasket.
