Transfer Case - Torque bolt information required.

[ShaunPR]

Hi All

 

I had the common leak on the transfer case on my 996.2 tiptronic. I have stripped it all done and got the replacement gaskets and 'o' rings and now building up again.

 

The only thing I don't have and is not in the Porsche Workshop manual is the torque settings for all the bolts I need to put back in.

 

I have found on another forum that the case bolts are torqued to 19lb ft, hex bolts holding the gears in place are 38lb ft.

 

Can anyone confirm this before I put it all back together?

 

Picture shows the part of the gasket that has gone (think this is usual).

 

Thanks

It is always helpful if you give us the exact model and year of the car.

Yes might help

 

This is for a 2002 996.2 Carrera 4 Tiptronc S Cabrio

My Porsche 996 Service Manual says 17 ft-lbs for the cover.

Thanks Loren

 

That was a great help, I'm now at the stage shown in the picture

 

Do you have the torque for

1. Holds the left and right gear...currently @ 39lb ft

2. Holds the plastic oil tray underneath the gear...currently 10lb ft

 

and by the way many thanks

 

Managed to slice my thumb putting the gears back on.....

Here is all I have for that...
