Problem solved I hope.
Called auto part store where I got trans fluid. Refreshed their memory, I’m the guy that bought all that trans fluid right after you opened up this morning. Do you deliver? “NO not today”. But as it turns out the guy will be sort of going my way when he gets of work and will drop new torque off at my house.
Think I'll still try with milk jug weight to see if thinking was right or wrong and then confirm when wrench shows up.
My mickey mouse idea is as bad as when I had plumbing leak at a fitting and no Teflon tape with me. I wrapped dental floss around the threads and it worked!
Thanks for come back.
Use the torque wrench.
Dental floss worked but if it didn't it would have just been a minor leak.'
Torque is 'pounds-foot or inch-foot'
Energy is 'foot-pounds'
The 6 pound jug doesn't work.....burnt transmission band/clutch.
BIG DIFFERENCE.
