I torqued the bolts to 20nm according to my old style needle torque wrench. It may not have been accurate enough, but I remembered what those bolts felt like to be loosened and it seemed like my wrench was close.

This car is my daily driver, and I'm running out of time with gigs coming up and losing money on rental cars. I've decided to install the donor car's transmission to get me on the road for a while, and then sometime soon I'll take this transmission to a place in Fremont called MB exchange where they can test it and give me an estimate on what needs to be done. Thanks for all of your input.
