Need help with torque specs..
I have a 04 neon sxt and the transmission gasket blew today and I am thinking the torque specs in the book are a lil high. 165.. i was wondering if it would be bad to do only 100lbs? I'm new to working on cars. And I'm trying to sell my car and this just happend.. please help me lol

165 inch/lbs is only 13 ft/lbs. 100in/lbs would be 8ftlbs which seems a little loose. Is it crushing the gasket? As long as the pan doesn't leak and the bolts don't come loose over time.

iirc, the factory uses rtv not a gasket....so if you want to use the gasket and 165 is damaging it; lower the torque. torque it, fill it, check it...if it leaks...go a little tigher.
