Hey guys I have a T10 4 speed from a 63 vette (cast iron body) going in my 78 malibu. Got everything mocked up and it fits nicely.
Then i checked the cover bolts and tailshaft bolts and while “snug” they werent exactly as tight as i would have expected. Now I am wondering about the input shaft bearing retainer (round cover around the input shaft with 4 bolts)
To ease my mind i might pull the transmission back out. I cant find torque specs anywhere.
How tight are these bolts supposed to be (bearing retainer, side cover, and tail shaft)??
Also, can bearing retainer leak fluid if not torqued down correctly??
