 KIA Pride - 94 1.3 Stripped gearbox drain plug - bathtub tom
Got the new gearbox in. Thought I'd pull the drain plug to make sure any water was out before I refilled it and the thread's come out - completely stripped. Any suggestions for solutions? Helicoil perhaps? Can it be done in situ? Amateur jobbie? Perhaps I could 'glue' the plug back in as I'm not likely to ever want to remove it again?

Any suggestions welcome.
