This is more of a question, however, I am pointing out a problem with the torque values in the manual. These questionable values have existed prior to the G5. The following is an attempt to point them out:
Maybe together we can solve this
=============================================
1. Description in Manual (nm- ft lbs – in lb
Top Four Transmission To Engine Bolts 41 30 –
Bottom Four Transmission To Engine Bolts 68 50 –
Transmission To Oil Pan Bolts 30 22 200
1A –Should Be – Bell Housing to Engine:
Top Six Bell Housing To Engine Bolts 68 50 –
Bottom Four Bell Housing to Oil Pan Bolts 30 22 264
================================================
===============================================
2. As far as I can see there is no accurate transmission to bell housing torque value in the viper manual
2A. (8) bolts – I believe it should be either 40 or 45 ft lbs for trans to bell housing
==============================================
==================================================
3. The following were changed on the G5 (from the G4)
Transmission Mount Bolts 41 30 – should be (24 ft-lbs)
Oil Pan Drain Plug 34 25 – should be (20 ft lbs)
=======================================================
If anyone sees anything wrong, lets discuss and solve
