I was following the build book but now I have decided it is either wrong or I am misunderstanding which bolts it is talking about.
It clearly says to torque the upper transmission mount bolts to 74 ft-lb. I may be mistaken but idk what other bolts it could be referencing. This is how the torque wrench was set. I got one bolt to actually torque to 74 ft-lbs but the next one snapped off. Luckily I was able to extract it with an easy-out of sorts.
After looking around I have found some values but the way they are described I am not sure if they are for the bolts in question. Based on the bolt size though I am thinking this bolt is actually supposed to be torque to 44 ft-lbs. Does anyone know for sure. This is the upper mount located under the fuse box on a 2.2 L61 with F23 trans.
So is the book wrong or am I interpreting it wrong? I thought the upper engine bolts were one size down from the upper trans bolt but not sure on that. Just thinking it my be a bit more. Here are torque specs somebody posted. I just don't understand their nomenclature with front, rear and side mounts. As there are only 3 mounting points one would think they meant orientation in the car and the side mount is actually the top mount. If it is then this post is saying it is supposed to be 33 ft-lb but I am looking for a solid reference.
Lol yeah I just kept turning and the whole time I was like why aren't I there yet. Really surprised I got one to 73 ft-lb without breaking. Just glad I broke the bolt and didn't pull the threads out of the transmission.
I know the upper engine mount to frame rail is 74, and the intermediate mount bracket to block/head bolts are 74. The rear bracket to trans bolts are probably 74. They are similar sized bolts
