I can't seem to find these values anywhere. Could you please let me know what's best to use? This is for:

Bolts attaching the bellhousing to the engine.
Bolts attaching the T5 gearbox to the bellhousing.

Quite sure unless you have a torque wrench obstruction adapter you cant use them on the BH to gearbox lower 2 bolts anyway so just tight then scratchchin not that I've tried anyway I see no point on fixings like this , and BH to motor are 3/8 UNC so 30 ft pounds should do you

Don't do as the the old mechanics used to jokingly say, before torque wrenches were invented...... "tighten it till it strips and back it off a bit"laugh
