Posted by streetlightning, Apr-17-11 08:07 PM
I can seem to find the torque spec or sequence for these?

Are you asking if you can or cannot find them? The specs are in the factory service manual.

Im asking: what to tq the bolts to and in what seq, And i did not see them, there are several posts about them not being in any literature. so the ? Is:

Dunno. I never went by the spec. I torque them to "really tight" with a touch of loctite, and I torque them in sequence similar lug nuts, hitting opposing sides in a star pattern.

if you're looking in the FSM, you'll find a few things:

1. make sure you're describing the right part to us. People generally mistake the flexplate to a flywheel.
2. Torque specs are the same for ATX and MTX. 70 ft/lbs.
3. word of advice, clean your bolts w/ alchohol and use red loctite.
4. sequence isn't mentioned, but TQ it over a couple steps on opposite sides of each bolts if that makes u feel better. wouldn't hurt

haynes is 70, FSM is 55 if i remember right.

Flexplate is the large plate with many teeth on it that the starter gear spins while starting. You use this with ATX and modular MTX clutch setups. A flywheel is essentially the 'flexplate' attached to it, has the same starter teeth on it but is just part of a non-modular clutch setup. Nevertheless, same torque numbers for both.

If you don't know the differences, read this http://www.2gnt.com/?d=Non_Modular_VS_Modular_Clutch

Early '95 models used a non-modular clutch.
