Re: Fun with transmissions



Tom,

Good luck with the bolts.  Recently I've been coating everything with
never-sieze.  Makes it go together better.  And I've been torquing bolts
more carefully.  Seems like if they're torqued properly they don't have
any tendency to come loose.

On my new springs, I used grade 8's with grade 5 nuts and split
lock-washers.  I only torqued these to around 30 ft-lbs as per
instructions but they haven't moved in 6 months.
