Can't find transmission pan torque spec...

Does your Mitsubishi L300 make a strange noise? Need wheel alignment specs?

Can't find transmission pan torque spec...

Or at least not one I trust... this is all I can find in the manual, but the torques for the 10mm seem way high to me (50nm/35ftlbs).

Weird thing is, I suddenly developed a transmission seep/leak at the back of the pan... and when I checked the bolts they were all very loose, not much more than finger tight. Could a fluid change cause the gasket to soften? (I did not drop the pan)

I think those torques are for a 10mm diameter bolt, not a bolt that needs a 10mm socket...which would be a 5mm or 6mm bolt

"Engine and transmission tightening bolt" should be "engine *to* transmission bolts"- the ones on the bellhousing.

Oil pan is 4.5Nm/3.3ft.lb

Nothing says "poor workmanship" more than wrinkles in the duct tape.

Thanks!
I went through every section of the manual where I thought it might be but I never found section 23A... still can't find it...
