Transmission problem
1997 Nissan Sentra 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 106k miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
i have a 97 nissan sentra. i was changing the tranny fluid and filter and the middle longest bolt on drivers side of filter will not tighten like there is no threading device inside or is it just supposed to slip in? it is snug when it is all the way in but if u pull hard enough it will come out. it is the only one like that. i did not mix up the bolts and since it is the longest one it can't be mixed up with the rest. i would appreciate any help. thanks!!!

Maybe the prior owner stripped the thread-time to tap and die it or just use permatex around it so it won't leak

I know this issue ”Sentra Transmission Filter Bolt Won't Tighten" is old but my Sentra has the same issue. How'd you fix it? Any advice will be appreciate. Thank you
