The bellhousing bolts are around 50~60 Ft lbs if I remember correctly. The lower block plate bolts are 25 Ft lbs.

I just did another clutch job recently and tightened everything by hand only FWIW.

called d&d and they said bellhousing to tranny is 26 ft lbs.. but they also told me the 2 bolts on the shifter (that arent included in the $3900 i just spent) were 10mm by 100 which was incorrect, then another guy at d&d when i called a hour later said they were 10 by 1.5.. wrong... took me 3 hours of running around in traffic to the hardware store to figure out it was 3/8 by 24.. dont get me wrong, they are super nice guys to deal with on the phone, but they werent even close on giving me the right answer.. hopefully they were right about it taking 3.75 quarts of mobil 1 atf

Call them back and tell them what it takes, then call them tomorrow and ask which thread they are.
