2002 Bonneville SSEI - Installing long block and want to service transmission before I put the engine back in. Would like to know the torque to the pan bolts. Where do you pick up a shift kit? 163k miles. Threw a long code and resolved by using a quart of lucas. Hope the trans last at least another year.

125 inch pounds. I have a shift kit if your interested, just PM me.

What does the shift kit do? And thanks for the torque value. Putting in engine as we speak.

Answer that in a PM. The torque is actually 120 inch pounds, not that 5 inch pounds will make any difference.

I doubt it makes much of a difference either. But much more an there might be an issue. I've seen quite a few guys snap tran pan bolts because of not using the proper torque. Good'n'tight is a bad idea on them. The upside is that they are a weak metal and usually snap before the trans case strips out.
