Torque values for automatic transmission pan bolts vary depending on the make and model of the vehicle. Consult your specific vehicle’s repair manual for exact values.
As a general recommendation, the following are the approximate tightening torque values for the automatic transmission pan bolts:
For M6 bolts:
* 9-13 Nm (7-10 lb-ft)
For M8 bolts:
* 20-30 Nm (15-22 lb-ft)
For M10 bolts:
* 40-50 Nm (30-37 lb-ft)
For M12 bolts:
* 60-80 Nm (44-59 lb-ft)
Tightening Instructions:
1. Clean the mating surfaces from dirt, debris and old sealant.
2. Apply a thin layer of new sealant to the clean surface of the pan.
3. Reinstall the pan bolts and hand-tighten them until they engage.
4. Using a torque wrench, tighten the bolts in the order shown, gradually increasing the tightening torque.
5. Tighten the bolts evenly in increments to prevent deformation or damage to the pan.
6. After reaching the specified tightening torque, rotate the bolts 90-120 degrees to secure the torque.
Warning:
* Undertightening the bolts can lead to leaks, and overtightening can lead to crushing or damage to the pallet.
*Use a torque wrench and appropriate socket to ensure accurate tightening torque.
*Follow the instructions in the repair manual for your specific vehicle as values may vary.
