I did a search and couldn't find anything. I have a manual tranny. i did some work on it, Now i have to put the bellhousing back on. I need to know what sealant to use and how much to torque the bolts down.

It's red loctite. MAKE SURE you don't mess up when putting it back together and the loctite isn't able to completely seal because you WILL have a leak afterwords.

"red loctite" in this context probably means Loctite 518 (or 51817) which is an anaerobic sealant that's very expensive and hard to find but good. I picked up a huge tube from Toyota for $40. A 5ml starter tube like the one below should be enough for the tranny, that's usually $8-15.

NO Anarobic sealer or anyother gastket makers is different from the thread locking compound your thinking of. Anarobic sealer stays in its jelly like form till it is completely absent of air in its environment and only paper thin ( if that).
IT IS LOCTITE 518 or equivalent. Same stuff as on your block, cam seals etc.
