I think you may have stripped out the pan. I don't recall the bolt looking like it had two layers. I would think an automotive store should have an insert or something that you could use to fix the pan, similar to how you fix a stripped spark plug hole.


i agree. you stripped it. you should only torque that bolt to about 20 ft-lb. get a tap to clean it up and a new bolt. don't re-use the washer. a $1 washer is not worth a $100 trans pan.
