Trans pan torque

[Crazy440]

Just changed the filter in my 727.  The manual says to tighten to 96 in lbs.  Which converts to 8 ft lbs.  Is that really all the torque needed for those bolts?
Thanks

With a new gasket, that should be fine.  The main reason for leaks is distorted pans due to over tightening.

Factory spec is 150 in. lbs.

X2.  Put a straight edge on the pan if you have it off.

Am going by my Haynes manual.  So, you're saying I should tighten to 12.5 ft#s

I did it the old school way last time, I tightened them without a torque wrench.  Slowly and nice and snug.  No leaks so far.

Guess I'll go back a re-torque to 12.5 ft lbs. 
Thanks
