Washer sequence and torque settings for GM trans mount 17112 on Richmond

[sinc68]

Hello, I have a couple of simple questions. I'm installing your 17112 kit on a Richmond 6 speed. Can you please confirm that the sequence for the hardware is top to bottom is:  Tranny, flat washer, preload plate, Energy mount ( curve facing rear) , flat washer, lock washer and bolt?  Also what torque should I set it  to?  Once I have the mount installed, can you please let me know what I should torque the cross member to the tranny mount to?  I am using a Chris Alston cross member if it makes a difference. Thanks for your help.

sinc68,

Thanks for your question.  Looking up at your transmission the sequence of parts will be as follows - Transmission, Pre-Load Plate, Mount, Flat Washer, Lock Washer, and Bolt.  As for the torque specs you will want to use factory specifications.  If you have any further questions feel free to post.

Thanks for the information. I was also able to get help from your Tech support line. I received 4 flat washers. The "extra" 2 washers go between the crossmember and the tranny mount. ( As long as I am not using flanged bolts as per your instructions. ). Also I checked my Chevy service manual and for a Muncie, the torques specs are 40 ft lbs for the mount to the tranny and the crossmember to the mount. I'm going to use the same spec for the Richmond. For bolting the crossmember to the unibody, it is 25 ft lbs. Thanks again.
