Thread: Torque specs on for the clutch bolts

    Torque specs on for the clutch bolts

    The 6 (I think) bolts holding the pressure plate to the flywheel, what are the torque specs on these in ft. lbs?

    I don't have my service manuals here.

    Thanks!

    Usually about 20-25. I don't have the exact specs handy though.

    Well I have them at 45 ft. lbs. so that should be good. Hard to do more when it moves. I mean I know the clutch needs to be able to do it's job, but the way this thing is made, you can't over torque the bolts right? I know you can break them, but you can't over tighten them so the clutch doesn't work properly, correct?

    Alright, I read the KB (Very useful, btw) and see it is 21 ft/lbs. Is over tightening bad, I guess that is all I need to know.

    OH and by the way, make sure to tighten the pressure plate bolts BEFORE you re-install the transmission... Don't ask me how I know this.

    Wow! They didn't strip or break! Pretty decent bolts you have there.

    In a manner of speaking I did. Nevertheless, they're not going anywhere and everything went back in perfect. Only issue I had was I put a little too much fluid in the transmission, so now I have a wheel that is as shiny as ever!

    Thanks again for the post guys!
