mid plate torque spec
i am in the middle of my monster clutch swap and ran into a prob. my old pilot bearing was all chewed up causing the input shaft of the trans to leak. i got the seal but need to know the torque spec for the bolts that hold that to the rest of the trans. also what is used to seal the mid plate chevy dealer does't show a gasket so i was thinking of using gasket maker. please help fast im ready to go back in with the trans pending this little hiccup

The 15mm front plate to case (same as tailhousing to case) bolts all TQ to 26 lb-ft. Just use UltraBlack RTV for the seal, and only a thin spread at that. It's a machined surface and excess RTV will ooze into the case and grind up into the fluid and ruin the blocker rings.
