Good morning from Italy, i'm almost at the end. What is the tightening torque between the engine and the gearbox? Thank you

Bentley says the transmission bell housing to the engine is 23Nm(17ft-lbs)

Meanwhile i found related to assemblyof the starter screws

hexsagon head bolts M10 44/46 Nm

The torque for the starter is different than the studs securing the bell housing to the crankcase (which I believe you'’re pointing to in your first picture).

hope this helps.

I am a bit surprised at that torque of bell to engine... That 17 is an M8 torque spec, those are M10 studs, which are typically ~34 ft lbs. I have had my engine and trans apart no less than 10 times and have always torqued bell to motor at 35 ft-lbs.

I scoured the manual and could not find the spec in there also... I did find starter to trans at 34 ft-lbs.

Agreed. Bentley could be wrong. M10s are typically in the range you shared. Guten Tight might apply here.

34 ftlb is an appropriate valuefor a m10 screw
