Default 46RE Trans Pan Bolt Torque Sequence?

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone knows off the top of their head if there is a specific torque sequence on the pan for the 46RE. It looks like the bolts are 12lb/ft torque but I didn't see a specific sequence for it.


Just wondering,

thanks
Issakar

12-16 ft lbs, in 3 steps (technically), beginning in the middle working outward and crossing the pan each bolt.

A torque sequence of increasing pressure to prevent crushing/pushing the gasket. Torque to 6 lbs, then 9 lbs, then 12 lbs.
