what's the torque for the press. plate?

hello guys.
please, how much is the presser plate to be torqued to the flywheel?, (the one squeezing the disc?) we're talking about, the T-5 tranny, wich is goingon a 5.7?
thanks to all.
Fernando.

IIRC the spec is around 35 ft-lbs

They're 3/8" std thread; they'll need about the same torque as any other 3/8" std thread fasteners

my haynes book says 16ft lbs for the pressure plate, and i believe it was 60 for the flywheel itself



edit use rb's suggestion of 35ft lbs, i was thinking of another vehicle that i have

thanks to all guys.
i've found a book where it calls also for 35 foot/pound, it makes sense, and i did use green locktite instead, i believe red will be a little too much.
anyway with the proper torque it shouldnt come lose.
thanks again to all.
Fernando.

mig29 you're confused on your loctite, green is permanate, red is temporary.

I am not sure about the green, but the red is "stud & bearing mount" and it's permanent.

either i have some low grade red loctite or your defination of permanate is a lot differant than mine. i've used red since my kart days and it isn't hard to take apart at all .aluminum, stell, brass, whatever it all unscrews about as easy as not using anything. i never use blue, not worth the trouble. since friday is trash day around here and i was in the garage i looked at mine. red 271 does say stud and bearing mount the 635 green says retaining compound (not thread locker) maximum strength. on the back is says best for clyindrical parts with a clearance of .010 (i think, it sucks not being able to see to read when you get old) or less. from reading both bottles green is by far the more permanate of the two and from all the industrial setting i've been in green was used and considered permanate while red or blue could be taken apart.
