I ordered a new transmission Pan for my YJ. It's a TF-999. I couldn't find torque specs anywhere for the bolts. I called Morris 4x4 where I bought it and they advised hand tight. What exactly is hand tight???

Haynes says 12 lb-ft.
Hand tight is having the bolt head seated (with clean threads) as tight as you can get it without tools and then a tweak with a wrench right up to the point that you feel the bolt want to stop - without putting any muscle behind the wrench. Make sure you are bringing each bolt up evenly and on opposite sides of the pan. Just going crazy on each one at a time is a great way to make leaks.God forgives, rocks don't

use a 1/4" drive ratchet, and go easy
multiple passes, tightening a little more each timeAn XJ will always cost you less then any girl ever will, and you will always know when the spark is gone.Comment
