Subject: LRO: OD nut torque setting needed - seriously
>A friend of mine just called me at work. He's picking up his rebuilt
transmission and will be installing it and I guess his OD over the next
day or so. He asked what the torque setting for the OD nut is.
If you're talking about the nut that holds the replacement drive gear
on the end of the transmission output shaft, I keep hearing it's
100 ft. pounds of torque. However, there is no mention of any
torque figure in either the Fairey overdrive installation and
operation manual (which I still have), or the SIII factory
service manual (for the nut when it holds on the output
gear that mates to the top transfer case gear). But
TeriAnn has mentioned 100 ft pounds several times,
and I suspect she knows what she's talking about, so I'd
feel safe using that figure. If you're talking about the
nuts that hold the overdrive casing to the back of the transfer
box, I don't think there's a torque figure mentioned anywhere,
just "tight."
