Need troque specs, replacing trans

[GPspool]

For a 05 Grand Prix L26

Can someone tell me where i can find the torque specs for:

- Trans to motor bolts
- Half shaft bolts
- Diff cover bolts
- Torque converter bolts
- Other???

Any last minute advice?

Thanks!

im not gonna lie, i didnt use any torque specs or a torque wrench at all when i did my transmission swap. most of that stuff is good as 'tight'. stuff in the motor and transmission is more specific.

Even for the half shaft and the torque converter!

Nope, not there...

lemme get my useless haynes manual....

[matt5112]

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...

[matt5112]

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

[Bio248]

why are you taking the torque converter off when you do the swap?

[matt5112]

because he's crazy?

[Bio248]

my lower mileage trans had a lower mile torque converter on it already...

[matt5112]

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.

[GPspool]

why are you taking the torque converter off when you do the swap?

- Replacing the torque converter
- replacing the trans
- replacing the half shafts
- GMR diff install

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

[matt5112]

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

[GPspool]

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?
-???

[matt5112]

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