What am I supposed to torque down the pan bolts to on a TH400 and also what order? Also for the cooling lines on a 400. Which is the feed and which is the return? I think the return is the upper one... please correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks in advance!

On any Auto trans I just tighten the pan bolts in a stagered pattern and just snugg um. Don't want to Dimpple the pan around the bolt hole or it'll leak like a sive.Go oer it a few times cause the first ones you tighten will be losser as you tighten more.

My 700r4 required 91 Inch Pounds. Don't know if this will help but it can't be far off of this I wouldnt think.

Hey there,
According to my handy-dandy TH-400 repair manual, torque the pan bolts to 144 INCH-LBS.
I have always installed the bolts starting with one on each side and then fill in by alternating sides.
