torque specs on transmission

Coffee - 01 Sep 2006 13:37 GMT
hey, i have a 96 dodge ram (diesel) pickup with the 47RE automatic
transmission. When the transmission is out of the vehicle, and you
remove the torque converter, what is the torque on the 7 bolts that hold
on the front plate?
(it's the front plate that has little bearings and passages that move
the fluid around the transmission, and has a seal in the front of it,
which encircles a shaft)

none of my manuals list torque specs on it, and google searches have
proved useless.

thanks,

James

My refferance states 101 ft lbs for flywheel bolt and does not have
seperate values for automatics and manuals.

He's talking about the front pump bolts, not the flywheel bolts.

This is easy to figure out who the clown and morons is or are. It is
the one(s) with the anonymous return addresses that like to stir the

No a.s hole, the last thing I am insecure. What I am, is tired of you
posting information that is nothing but wrong. Like in this post with torque
values. You being the dumb a.s hole tell the OP that the correct value 101
foot pounds, when in fact, the value is 15 foot pounds.

You with you BS are going to cause sombody who doesn't know what a a.s hole
you are a injury or some damage.

He was clear enough for everyone else, it seems:

> When the transmission is out of the vehicle

He's got the trans out of the vehicle...

> and you remove the torque converter

And he removes the converter....  so he's now looking into the bellhousing..

> what is the torque on the 7 bolts that hold on the front plate?

Granted, "front plate" isn't the best way to describe it, but knowing that
he just removed the converter, combined with the "7 bolts", it's pretty
clear he's talking about the front pump...

> (it's the front plate that has little bearings and passages that move
> the fluid around the transmission, and has a seal in the front of it,
> which encircles a shaft)

Does any of this description even remotely apply to the flexplate?  "Moved
fluid around, has a seal that encircles the input shaft"....  can't really
be anything BUT the pump, right?

We're slamming you because you gave info that would have cost the guy a
transmission case and a lot of down time. Then you claimed it wasn't clear.
If so, why did you not ask for clarification?

We have risen above it, YOU OTOH, still slime around in the bullshit you've
spread previously.

No you are slamming me because you are basically insecure and it makes
you feel better about yourself to act like a child and put others down
that you feel threatened by. Knock yourself out Max. Anybody with a
open mind can see what you are doing here. Some kids never grow up but
there is always hope.

I am slamming you because you almost cost that guy a pile of cash and
downtime, nothing more and nothing less. Shut your piehole on the
"insecurity" issues because its your stock response, and as with all else
you spew, full of bullshit.

Not you are the one full of it and other people see it too, they may
not say but they see it.  Uou act like a child at times with
"tantrums" of name calling.  BTW I did not almost cost him anything
because I qualified what torque values were for. Do us all a favor Max
and grow up some.  You have a severe ego problem

I didn't call you any names, I said you almost cost the guy big $$, get it
right.

> BTW I did not almost cost him anything

The values you claimed you supplied were for the flexplate to torque
converter, and you were only 66ftlbs too high. Way to go.

Do us and those looking for info a favor and shut the f.ck up.

You'd really make a terrible teacher.  The OP didn't know the name of part
he was asking about, and you come back with "101 ft. lbs. for flywheel
bolt".  Now, if he didn't know that the pump was a pump, wouldn't it be
reasonable to assume that he could think you were telling him the "plate" he
was asking about was a flywheel?  And then proceed to try and torque the
bolts to 101 ft. lbs., thereby tearing the aluminum threads right out of the
case?

Not to mention the fact that 101 ft. lbs. is completely off the mark, too.
My service manual calls for 55 ft. lbs. for the flexplate-to-crankshaft
bolts, and 35 ft.lbs. for the flexplate-to-converter bolts.  What did you
do?  Add them together, and add a little bit for good measure?
Tom Lawrence - 01 Sep 2006 23:52 GMT

Not slamming...  see, this is a DISCUSSION group.  We DISCUSS things here.
Someone asked a question, you mis-read his question, and provided an
incorrect answer.  It was pointed out that you mis-read the question.  You
claimed it was the OP's fault, because he wasn't clear.  It was then
explained that the OP was indeed clear enough to understand exactly what he
was asking about.

That's all, Sno... no slamming - just a discussion.  Do you know how the
vast majority of people in this group would have handled that situation?

"Oh, sorry about that - I thought he was asking about something else.  My
mistake"

And that would be the end of it.  We're all human here - we all make
mistakes.  Most of us own up to them, and move on.  You, however, are
developing a consistent pattern of providing incorrect information, and then
blaming everyone BUT you for it.  That, my friend, is a textbook definition
of immaturity...

Bullshit. He clearly described the pump body as something the shaft went
through and had a seal around it.

You got a flywheel like that on your Dodge?

Thats great, except he was describing the "pump body to case" bolts.

Those are 15ftlbs, the ones you were talking about are 35ftlbs.

Both a bit shy of the 101ftlbs you mentioned.

> thank you sir, have a great day,

No problem...  have you made a couple of alignment dowels to get the pump
lined up correctly?  If not, they're pretty simple to make.  Get a length of
5/16"-18 all-thread from your local hardware store.  Cut two pieces about 4"
long.  Screw these into opposite holes where the pump bolts thread into.
Now you can slip the gasket and pump onto the alignment dowels, and start
the other 5 pump bolts.  Unscrew the dowels, and put the final two bolts in,
then torque them down.

This is much easier than trying to line things up by hand, hoping not to
shift/tear the gasket in the process.

that's a good idea for sure, i ended up just getting lucky, and it
plopped nicely into place :)

so now its all done, tranny is snug against the block, so now i need to
psych myself up for the next part... bolting the flywheel/flex plate to
the torque converter.
much fun is anticipated :P

I wish I had thought to mention it previously... startup procedure is
important as well.  My Torqueflite gurus recommend prefilling the torque
converter before installing it.  Then, after the transmission is installed
and before starting the engine, fill it with 4 or 5 quarts of ATF.  Start
the engine w/ the transmission in neutral, and fill with the remaining ATF
as necessary.  Tom and others may have more specific info about this.
