    Transmission output flange

    The repair manual I have mentions torquing the 30mm nut for the output flange in two stages. The first is listed at 129 ish ft/lbs, and the second stage is 89. I'm confused by the whole stages bit. What does this mean?

    Found my answer. For anyone else who searches for this, you tighten it to the first amount given for everything to set properly, then loosen, and tighten to the second spec.

      make sure you use the right sealant when you put it back together, or it will leak like crazy.
