And finally, how > tight do the bolts have to be when I put them back in?? The AT gasket that I got from NAPA is just rubber, but I think the one you have may be correct (especially if it fits). Does anyone know a source for these? >Make sure that the pan is flat in the bolt hole areas, and DO >NOT over tighten the bolts. There is a torque spec. on these bolts, and >it is not much. It is in inch pounds. Look it up in the Bentley manual. According to Bentley it is: "Working diagnolly, tighten the pan screws to 1mkg (7 ft. lb.). Wait five minutes for the new gasket to compress, then retorque the screws. Repeat this sequence several times until the screws remain at torque." And Never torque over 1 mkg (7 ft. lb).
