torque specs on transmission

Thread rating:  |
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

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.

> 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?

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.

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.

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 > The original poster liked the link but you are still fixated on > slamming, 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...

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?

Those are 15ftlbs, the ones you were talking about are 35ftlbs.
Both a bit shy of the 101ftlbs you mentioned.

Tom Lawrence - 01 Sep 2006 19:33 GMT > 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.

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
Bryan - 02 Sep 2006 19:54 GMT > >> thank you sir, have a great day, > > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > 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.
