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!<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-US'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-US'>Cheers, Mirek<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-US'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0cm 0cm 0cm'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span lang=EN-US>From:</span></b><span lang=EN-US> Healeys <healeys-bounces@autox.team.net> <b>On Behalf Of </b>Michael Salter via Healeys<br><b>Sent:</b> August 11, 2021 1:41 PM<br><b>To:</b> healeys@autox.team.net<br><b>Subject:</b> [Healeys] Another thread question<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>The inhibitor switch which is used in overdrive gearboxes has a thread that I cannot identify.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>Measuring the outside diameter of the thread I get 0.618" ... probably 5/8" (0.625)<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>The TPI is 13 ... definitely not 12 or 14.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>Can't find it in my limited resources ... <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>Anyone able to identify this thread for me?<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>M<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div></div></body></html>
