Torque Specs?
My Haynes manual says 2000 and earlier;
Trans to Engine 50 to 68 ft.Lb.
It seems high and Haynes says later years were less. They were most definitely in tight.
AllDataDYI and some other places say 28 to 38. I'm wondering if the higher torque numbers are a discrepency. In Haynes it says the later years are lower, and in General Bolt Specs M10 bolts are rated up to 40 ft.lb.
This something I have to settle before tightening these bolts.
