TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS AND TIGHTENING SEQUENCE

1. All nuts, bolts, and screws in the transmission are tightened to a torque value in either pound-feet or

pound-inches. These torque values are provided in assembly procedures.

2. The f rst torque value shown for tightening bolts, nuts, screws, plugs, etc., is in terms of pound-feet or

pound-inches. Following the torque value for pound-feet or pound-inches is another set of f gures in

parentheses for Newton meters. Example: Tighten bolt to 12 to 13 lb-ft (16 to 18 N·m).

3. Use the f gures in parentheses only when the torque wrench is marked for Newton meters.

4. When bolts, nuts, or screws are in a circular pattern, alternately tighten those located 180 degrees apart to half

of minimum torque. Repeat the process, tightening to specif c torque.

REMOVING OR INSTALLING CONNECTORS

1. Look at part or wire to see if it has numbers or letters. Write numbers or letters on tags with pencil. Fasten tags

on wires or parts by twisting wire ends of tags. Remove tags after wire or part is installed.

2. If connectors cannot be removed by hand, use conduit-style slip-joint pliers with plastic jaw inserts to loosen

them. Finish removal by hand. Straighten any bent contacts with long round-nose pliers. Make sure that

contacts and keyways align. Tighten twist-snap-type connectors by hand only until click is heard. Tighten

screw-on-type connectors by hand only.

3. Put a protective cap or plug over any electrical connector that is disconnected. Cover connectors on all cables

moved to or from the transmission. Take off covers when connectors are installed.

4. Look at connectors for broken, missing, or pushed in contacts before making any connections.

5. Tighten connectors by hand whenever tools are not called out.

REMOVING OR INSTALLING BEARINGS

The methods and tools used in maintenance procedures for replacing bearings are for normal situations. Unless
