    Does anyone know the torque value for the oil plug as well as the 30 some nuts holding the gearbox and oil pans.

    Thanks

    I could not find the specs either, so I just use the tight enough method for the drain plug.

    For the small little nuts, 9 Nm is what I use. But those small torques are tough to get correct with big tools. I just use sealant around the gasket, and use a small 1/4 ratchet to tighten the nuts evenly but not too tight.

    I tighten the drain plug until I feel the crush seal give. There is a distinct feel to the wrench when this happens. I'm talking about a new seal, not reusing an old one.
