Transmission E12 torque spec

[samsari]

I hate to ask this question, over the years everyone has posted such useful information included all the torque specs needed. However I am unsure which torque spec in the Wrangler FSM is talking about the E12 bolts at the top of the transmission?

And correct me if I'm wrong but it looks like the bolts at the bottom of the transmission are 55 pounds, and the two longer bolts halfway up are 27 pounds?

This is what I have...

With that being said, I just tighten the E12 to snug. Trying to get a torque wrench up there is tough at best.

6 speed specifies 27 for E12 and 43 for rest.

He's got a 5 speed although I doubt it makes a difference.

Thank you all for the research and replies. i'll go with tightening the E12's to snug since I can't reliably get a torque wrench on them, and the rest to 43 foot pounds.

Yes, this definitely was me with those E12's.
