One final question. Apparently, every time I've changed the transmission pan I've either under or over tightened the bolts. Shop manual says 12-16 ft. lbs. Went to pick up a torque wrench and to my shock those things are $69 - $149 at Sears. I don't need one that bad. Any rule of thumb to determine when I've tightened the bolts 12-16 ft. lbs. I read somewhere on the Internet that once the bolt head touches the pan to only turn another 1/8 of a turn. That sound about right?
