Nope, not there...

lemme get my useless haynes manual....

Trans to motor bolts: 55 ft lbs

Half shaft bolts: anywhere from 118 to 159 depending on the year. for your year its 118 ft lbts

Diff cover bolts: n/a

Torque converter bolts: 46 ft lbs

FYI, 40-50 ft lbs is what most consider "tight" so nick was pretty close minus the axle nut.

WOOT! WOOT!

GREAT THANKS MAN!!!

I just spent all day looking everywhere! For the 04+ the information is rare...

just to make sure, by half shaft bolts you mean the axle nuts right?

because he's crazy?

The only reason you'd swap is if you're putting a trans in that didn't belong aka it has a different bolt pattern since its for a different engine with a different flex plate.

Yes, the big nut you see when you remouve the wheel

yeah then all the numbers i gave you should be good.

BTW, dont worry, i'm not the one swaping the trans, i just needed the torque specs because the guy doing the job didnt have it, is there anything else that will be remouved that need a specific torque?

-tie rod end?
-ball joint?
-end link?
-???

probably, but get a haynes manual, it has most of these torque specs, thats all its good for really.
