Flywheel and Pressure Plate Torque

MrMiata house reference

When the transmission is out for a clutch, the flywheel and pressure plate bolts get specific torque and technique. Even, cross-pattern tightening and thread locker on the flywheel keep the assembly true and quiet.

Flywheel bolts. These thread into the crankshaft flange and carry the whole clutch load. Torque them to 71 to 76 ft-lb
