Putting back transmission, had to be the driver side one a bit to make room, putting it back it's not going in right, i may have stripped one tooth, it's not wanting to go in, not sure if you have any suggestions. Don't know if it's the treads or the collar.

If the threads are stripped the part will need to be replaced or repaired, here is a video that will show you how to fix the threads:

That is no good, I am not sure that is fixable. You might need a new case.
