700r4 oil pan bolt torque Hello, I recently replaced my shift cable bracket and torqued the two bolts I had removed to the spec'd 12 ft/lbs. I hit a few random bolts to just to see where they are at and they spun quite a few times before my wrench signaled. 12 lbs is so damn low that I am skeptical of my 150 lb wrench. Is a 50 lb wrench more accurate at such low torques? My wrench claims 10-150 lbs. I don't want to crush the gasket and I do not feel comfortable trying to hand feel a torque. I do have a very minor tranny drip...so minor that I have had a hard time tracing its origin. Now I'm thinking all of the oil pan bolts are a little too loose. Or is a 10-150 lb wrench unlikely accurate down at 12 lbs? My wrench is decent....60 or 80 bucks or so..... Thanks for any help! |
Re: 700r4 oil pan bolt torque I have always done them by feel and watching the gasket. When it just starts to slide out its tight. |
