Question Torque specs needed on Transmission pan bolts. GS400

Can anybody with a GS repair manual provide me with the torque specs for the numerous 10mm bolts that hold up the transmission oil pan on a GS400?

Thanks.

Since you said GS400, it must be 98-00 year.

That being the case, it is the same engine in the LS400, 98-00 years.

My 99 LS manual says 19 bolts torqued @ 65 in. lbs

Don't forget the gasket specs:

THREE BOND 1281 or equivilent, bead should be uniform 2-3 mm wide around pan.
