Hunting around for the correct torque for mounting the transmission to bell-housing (4 bolts).

1955 M170.

Thanks,
Brian

Torques not listed in the manuals for any specific applications are then selected from the standard torque chart using that type fastener and thread pitch / size.

I have the answers to this question loaded in my photo album.


This is the handiest list from the Willys/Kaiser SM1004 civvy CJ service manual.

There are dozens of Gade 5 through grade 8 automotive torque charts scattered all over the web. I have a couple loaded on my photo album.

Go there and review the standard industry toque data and formulas before selecting the torque you should use. If you are unsure of the bolt diameter, material and/or thread pitch the information is usually in the ORD 9 parts manual for your jeep.

Here's an example:


Keep in mind when using our photo albums the photos are stored normally in three sizes. The thumb nail, the intermediate size and the full size. When you click on a thumb nail the intermediate size pops in view. When you click on the intermediate size the full size pops into view.

thanks - i printed these. I will use standard torque for grade 5

Two of those bolts are suppose to be shouldered dowel bolts to center the bell.

What side should the dowell bolt head be on? The bell or the engine block?

All the 3/8" bolts accept the top two are installed from the front towards the rear. The bottom left has one bolt hole that is reserved for the stay cable and it's nut goes on the forward side of the bell adapter plate.

3/8" bolts are:

7371700 - 3/8-24NF-2x2 1/2" shouldered dowel bolts 2 ea.
123534 - 3/8-24NF-3x2 1/8" 3 ea Early bell, 4 ea late bell
123825 - 3/8-24NF-3x2 5/8" 2 ea

Thanks for info

Hello :

Question about throwout bearing fork lubricant and input shaft lubricant.

Is anti-seize lubricant ok to use?

hey wes; i believe the photo you posted is m38, not m38a1/m170. aren't dowels on the side not the top.

Which two holes do your dowel bolts fit in? They should only fit the two top or the two side ones that go into the block. The bottom illustration is late M38 and All M38A1/M170. I just stuck my dowel bolts in the two holes that they would fit in.

They fit the sides. Seems to be fine.

I'll have to correct the photo. I always used black moly grease real thin on both. The pilot bushing should be an oilite bushing and pre-soaked in 30 weight engine oil.

Photo is corrected

I guess molly would be best for clutch fork pivot..?

When I said moly on both the both were the input shaft where it passes thru the clutch disc splines and the pivot fork.
