I looked in my FSM under clutch for torque specs for my ca18det. I could not find them. I also did a search and nothing on specs for the ca18det. If any could tell me what the proper torque specs are I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

Wow thanks. this is stupid. I was torque'ing all the bolts in a star pattern to the correct spec. My torque wrech (craftsman) clicked on all but one bolt. And that bolt BROKE!! ... so yeah, had to grab some pliers and remove the bolt. Now I am without a ONE FLYWHEEL BOLT.....

This is ridicolous. Anyone have ONE FLYWHEEL bolt I can buy? Or where I can source one? Or if there is a correct x-ref part I can buy? Any help would be great.

try a nissan dealership,get one for a ca20e,make sure its for a 5spd,since the auto bolts are shorter because the flex plate on an auto is thiner
