Transmission pan over-torque

Post by inition »

I finally did it. I dropped the pan and changed the filter four times now in my Olds 88. Since I do it every 50,000 miles, I forgot the torque spec so I googled it. I did a quick conversion of 13 foot pounds to inch pounds then set the torque to 70 inch pounds. All of the fasteners were already there so I went full torque and immediately broke a fastener off. It took about 15 minutes to calm down. Using needle nose pliers, the broken fastener came right now. I was lucky this time! I just need to find a new one!
