So last week I decided to install my new Energy one clutch plates. Everything went really well until I put the clutch cable back in and stripped it at the case. Can anyone recommend a fix or do I have to buy a new primary cover. I would think a hela coil would work or as someone suggested drill a little bigger and use JB weld and tap it. has anyone run into this and fixed it?


Just pissed at myself for doing this. Any help or if you have a 94-2003 primary case in chrome or polished alum for sale I'd be open to either.

 

Remove it and try to rethread it with a tap. If that doesn't work, heli coil kit.

 

I would go ahead a helicoil it..it is a cheap, strong and permanent fix..make sure and countersink the helicoil so that the o-ring on the clutch cable still seats..they also make a epoxy thread repair kit that works well...by Loctite, called forma thread...I have used it and it works well..

 

Thanks. I had a neighbor see this post and stopped by to take it to the machine shop he works at and fix it during his lunch break. gotta love when neighbors pull through for you.

 

That's awesome to help a neighbor out! Great to have a cool neighbor you get along with!

 

Buy that guy some beer or a bottle of Crown Royal.

 

Make sure you do him a solid. Any time you have a neighbor willing to do that kind of stuff for you, you have to show appreciation in some way or another that isn't just a "thank you". It's not often you get a good neighbor who has useful skills.
