VB bolt torque specs

[bugman_18444]

First I would like to thank all the members for a great site. I have a 5R55E in a 1998 ford ranger. With no reverse, I learned alot from past threads. I have found a blown out gasket. I hope I fixed the problem. BUT NOW I need the torque spec and sequance to reinstalt the vale body. I beleive I have seen it in here but now can,t find it. ANY help would be great. Thanks again to all, Dave

PS also seporator plate torques

Welcome to this forum! Jim, the link didn't work when I clicked onto it. Here's a diagram from Glacier991's photo gallery with both pieces of information on the same page:

Get a cheap torque wrench from Harbor Freight or Northern, etc. Just lightly snug the bolts in first, after starting all of them. Snug them slightly tighter with a very small ratchet(1/4"), then use the torque wrench. It should take several passes around all bolts to get them to specs. Good luck,

I think it does not work because it is a link to a search entry. I did a "search this forum" under trans/transfercase section on vb torque specs.
