motor12 367 #1 Posted February 22, 2015 What are the torque settings for the 1/2 in bolts on the case of a 5003 RJ58 trans, I did a search but no luck. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Racinbob 11,251 #2 Posted February 22, 2015 Good question. All I see in the manual is "torque all bolts on both side covers evenly". That's what I did and just went by feel. I did use thread sealant on them because the threaded hole runs all the way through. Maybe one of the transmission gurus here will have a number for you. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,883 #3 Posted February 22, 2015 Bob's right. I just snug them all first and then go around and tighten "maybe" another 1/4 to 1/2 turn. They are easy to strip, and you do not want to do that. Having them all about the same is more important. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Racinbob 11,251 #5 Posted February 23, 2015 I didn't think about it either motor. Not until I had a tiny bit of seepage from a couple of them. It may have been attributed to using stainless bolts I cleaned the threads real good and a little Loctite 592 did the trick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
