The specifications relating to the tightening force applied to the fasteners on a particular automatic transmission component are critical for proper function. These values, typically measured in inch-pounds or Newton-meters, ensure secure and consistent assembly of the unit’s hydraulic control center. An example would be the defined measurement for securing the separator plate to the main housing of the control mechanism.
Adherence to these precise measurements is essential for maintaining optimal transmission performance and longevity. Insufficient tightening can lead to leaks and component failure, while excessive tightening can damage threads or distort the valve body itself. Understanding and correctly applying these values are fundamental to successful transmission repair and rebuild procedures.
