1G Awd MT all torque spec for rear main seal

I left off simple items like slave cylinder, downpipe and other small brackets/miscellaneous items.

Starter bolts 20-25 ftlbs

Mount
Bracket to transmission 43-58 ftlbs

Thanks for putting this together, I am doing this all now and it will be super handy.

In case anyone else is determined to torque everything to spec, here are the additional ones you mentioned:

Clutch release ("slave") cylinder: 11-15 ft/lbs
Clutch release cylinder banjo: 14-18 ft/lbs

Downpipe to O2 nut: 29-43 ft/lbs
Downpipe "hanger" nut: 22-29 ft/lbs (usually only on a stock downpipe)

In case you remove the brake calipers from the hub:
Brake caliper bolt: 58-72 ft/lbs

All specs from the FSM.

Good call. I forgot the caliper and bracket

Caliper bracket 65 ftlbs

Once you bolt the slave, make sure the fork rests towards the drivers side of the window. Mine was dead center and now I have to shim it more.

Just a tad bit too high. I fixed it. Marty, do you know why I can't edit my original post?

No, you should be able to. Can I help out Tony? Need me to change something?

I can't for some reason and I notice on some posts you can't edit.

Can you please change below on the first post?

Flywheel bolts 35, 75 then 100ftlbs
Pressure Plate bolts 18-22ftlbs

Thanks, Marty!!

Take a look and make sure it reads how you want it Tony.
I have found that the "Edit" time, sometimes runs out if you don't notice a error pretty quickly, but I can always fix it for any member if needed.
