ATF sump thread stripped
I just replaced the ATF on my E36 and found two of the tapped holes on the large sump pan are stripped enough that they can hold the bolt, but not at much torque. The two holes have one good hole between them. All other holes are good too. What do I do?

If they wont hold the bolt you could try teflon tape otherwise a helicoil is you final option.
