Does anyone know what the proper torque value is for the two large transmission carrier/frame horn bolts? In the section for rear axle R&R in my Bentley manual, it only says to tighten down the frame horn bolts. It does not give specific torque values. I tried searcing the forums, and only found one reference: 100ft/lbs. Does that sound right? Thanks for any info in advance..
