Advantages which are convincing!

Ø      Solid bushing insert. This guarantees easy
installation and allows for full load use of tapped hole, ensuring
protection against stress and vibration.

Ø      Thin walled due to synchronized internal
external threads. Thin cross sectional area allows for installation
in areas of limited space and clearance material.

 

Ø      Self-positioning.  Having a flange on the top

            of the insert will insure that the insert will have positive placement             

            and cannot wind down into the newly repaired hole.

 

Ø      Self locking.  On installation the bottom
internal threads of the insert are cold rolled to expand the
mating external threads into the base material locking the insert in place.

Timeserts are one-piece steel thread repair inserts. When installed correctly, they are stronger than the original threads. Since they are one-piece they will not unravel like other inserts can. To install a Timesert, the hole is first drilled oversized. Then a countersink tool is used to make the top of the hole a little larger. This allows the Timesert to sit flush with the surface. Next, the hole is tapped to a larger size. The Timesert is threaded into the newly tapped threads with a driver that expands the Timesert so it does not come out.
I like to put some Loctite on the outside of the Timesert and stake the top of the Timesert in place for good measure.
The end result - a permanent repair that will probably outlast the transmission.
