tightening torque
« on: October 25, 2024, 09:10:09 »
Hello everybody,
What is the torque tightening of the 12 bolts of the gearbox support for a manual transmission?
Thank you for your answer

Be sure to clean and seal any bolts on the front and rear cover with sealant or they will leak transmission fluid since they enter into the gear box. They will leak transmission fluid if you do not.

Thank you ja17 for your answer but my question was about the trapezoidal plate under the gearbox held by 12 screws of 10mm diameter with a thread length of 20mm
