clutch Torque?

69 ft/lbs and not a toe/oz more!

Yep 69 ft lbs.

Anyone else noticed the 08 manual actually says 68 ft lbs. Not that i figure it matters.

so it does.. good eye. im mr 68 from now on

ok so maybe a dumb question, the wrench i'm using has a dial that goes up to 14 instead of 0-9. how do i know where 68 is?

^^ I'm lost now. Does you wrench not measure in ft lbs?

I just set my wrench on 68 ft lbs and get after it.

mkg is meter/kg

set it to 9.71 that = 68

actually 9.7142857142857142857142857142857 Mkg = 68 ft/lbs exactly.

to covert, Ft/lbs to Mkg = Ft/lbs / 7

what happens if its to tight anything in particular or is it just not good for it?

That was actually ft lbs the guys at Orielley's said to go up to 70 then let the line in the middle match up to 14.... he didn't sound like he knew alot of what was going on really.....I think there was a guy in the background helpin him out though.

if it's too tight, the fins will rub the casing right behind it. if not mistaken, there's a thin oil tube that runs right behind it. you can grind right into it..


based on the question posed in this thread, I've made this chart.

It can be accessed like all the rest of our literature, articles and such via the Reference Library module on the main page, or the quick links menu above.

Im still lost on your torque wrench. 14??????? I don't know of any torque wrench that can do less then 20 lbs unless its the old needle one or a inch pound one.

Meangreen, did you rent the torque wrench from Oriellys? I'd like to see a pic of it just so i could understand what your talking about.

Hey Steve,I like the chart. I usually use a on line converter but now we got most of it with the click of a button.

It was easy excel did all the work.

Yes i did rent it from them and i'm sorry but i've already returned it so no pic. I left it on the setting i used and showed one of the guys there that checked it back in for me. He said that it looked right to him too so i don't know if anyone of them knows how to use it.....:thinking:

It wasn't that the wrench would go down to 14 but that the dial you rotated with the handle went from 0-14.
