So I was fininshing up a lengthy repair job on my jeep, got it all back together, and it started leaking at the rear tranny line coupling with the quick clips. By the way I love my Y-link but what a bitch to work around!!
Anyway I pulled the coupling And removed the tranny line and found a small peice of the previous broken quik clip in there. So I removed it and began to replace the coupling back into the tranny. This is where my fun began, I got a couple of threads in by hand and figured sweet its started lets tighten her down. Right? Wrong, I somehow in my apparent hastiness to go out and run my new 33's I cross threaded that steel coupling into the aluminum tranny housing. Now I have no reachable threads. Anyone ever screw this up besides me?? If so any fixes possible without pulling the tranny again? I'm thinking tapping it with a pipe tap and a threaded bung. Is there a longer steel coupling out there that would reach the threads. I really don't want to pull the tranny again!!!
Anyhow thanks, and any Info or HELP is appreciated.
