I think the 4 main crossmember support bolts are 44, and the trans mount to trans support nuts are 44. the trans mount to trans bolts are 18. nor sure about the star bolts, I just tighten them good and snug without going over 44

Here's most of the torque specs you will ever need

Except for the one's I was needing. I did look through there first and its either not specific enough or not there. Thank you though!

Don't over tighten the torx on the ends or you'll go through three T-50's trying to get them back off. I tighten them with a short 3/8 ratchet by hand now.

I put them at 44lbs. should I do less?

That's fine for the 15mm head bolts, I use a ratchet with a 3" handle to tighten the torx bolts at either end of the crossmember. Like I said, I went through three T-50 sockets getting them back off before I started hand tightening them. One was a MAC and another was a Matco, so they were name brand sockets, not HF crap.

Thanks for the heads up on that. I'll pull them back off, put some antisieze on them, and just snug them down with a small ratchet tonight.

I always practice German torque specs when working on this type of part, it needs to be Goodentit.
