Mike, it is a longshot, but could the fitting have been over-tightened in the past and the threads have pulled? That is not uncommon on smaller bolts, and I had that issue with the rear axle of the TC once. I could not get a new nut on the right side and when I looked carefully the tpi varied across the threaded length of the axle. In that case it was a LH thread, and I think some ham-fisted in the mechanic, in trying to “undo” it used excessive force. Of course he was turning it the wrong way and he simply stretched the threads. I had a devil of a time fixing that!
Cheers, Mirek

The inhibitor switch which is used in overdrive gearboxes has a thread that I cannot identify.
Measuring the outside diameter of the thread I get 0.618" ... probably 5/8" (0.625)
The TPI is 13 ... definitely not 12 or 14.
Can't find it in my limited resources ...
Anyone able to identify this thread for me?
