trans output flange slotted nut torque requirement
« on: July 21, 2009, 21:51:30 »
Does anyone know this? I can't find mention of the actual torque value on our site, nor in the BB.

Will need a confirmation on this one, as I am not sure these are what you are asking about

From the 1966 Technical data manual, (the verbiage used in the book)

Grooved nut for three-arm flange - auto 8 mkp
Grooved nut for mounting three-arm or joint flange - manual, 14-15 mkp

1 mkp = 7.233 ftlb

That doesn't make any sense to me. Why would one be 8 mpk and the other one 14 or more?

Thanks, Jonny, that's what I needed. That is a lot of torque to apply to a slotted nut.
