While replacing the transmission this weekend the driver side front
control arm mount threads stripped out.  I threaded the bolt a few
turns by hand then started to tighten down but it let go with nowhere
near the 90+ ft/lb of torque mentioned in the manual.  I was planning
to remove the bolt to find the appropriate size helicoil.  I think it
is a m11x1.5.

Is hope the helicoil tap is long enough so I don't have to resort to
some other method of thread repair.  Any similar experiences out
there?
