Putting The Trans Back In

[Polygon]

It was a real PITA but I finally got it back in. The question is, do the bolts need to be torqued down to a specific torque? It doesn't say in the manual. Also, what about the diff cover?

70 LB FT for the block bolts
40 LB FT for the diff bolts.

Thanks a bunch. I wish they would have listed that in the service manual.

IIR, the FSM lists torques by bolt size at the beginning of the chapter?

Nope, but I had to make sure and look and it's at the end of the chapter. I just kept hitting the auto trans section and thinking it wasn't there.

Now, here's another question. Bolts, which go where. We didn't exactly keep them in good order when we took them out.

The elephant memory tells me that you are dead on.

It is listed in the back of the trans section with a slew of torque specs by trans type.

They list it at the beginning of the book.
