<div class="yiv1136544970MsoNormal"> I agree on the helicoil. I did both bolts on the race car and it saved a lot of hassel at the race track when a starter failed. If putting the helicoil in the engine plate I would use fine thread, for the tranny case I would use course. The advantage of in the engine Plate, is you can remove the tranny without removing the starter. Any thing to make a job easier when working by yourself</div>
