    What should the mounting bolts between the tranny and transfer case be torqued to?

    How easily should I be able to turn the tranny and transfer once together?

    Mine was really easy to turn until I torqued the bolts tight enough to squeeze out the RTV sealant and it got easier if I backed off. Where should I stop with the torquing?

    Thanks
    Matt

    28-32 lbs. Don't know, but you may need the 2 gaskets for clearance. Funny rubber squeezes a lot thinner than even paper gaskets.

    good to know.

    yesterday I found that my d20 had been backing itself out. the bolts were all finger tight, and it was leaking oil! :shock:
