You need the correct torque converter bolts, New ones will have threadlocker already applied to them, Like these http://www.autozone.com/autozone/acc...er=732339_0_0_

Torque converter bolt torque is 32 ft. lbs

74 ft. lbs. is the final torque on the flexplate bolts, Heres the entire procedure.
First Pass...20 Nm (15 ft. lbs.)
Second Pass...50 Nm (37 ft. lbs.)
Final Pass...100 Nm (74 ft. lbs.)
Be sure to apply thread sealant to them, I use this http://www.permatex.com/products/aut...ad_Sealant.htm
