Hi . I need to know the torque settings for the 5th gear mainshaft end nut, and 5th gear countershaft end nut. Thanks
 
56 views so far, but not one reply... surely someone can find this information ?, or is it Italian State secrets?... lol
 
not many people strip down gearboxes, even seasoned tinkerers rarely open a box up. I mean I would but I have never had a reason to, cost of a replacement box has always been too low for me to bother tbh.

Its not something you'll find in a haynes or the like, the haynes will 100% just say take it to a specialist, always does for stuff inside a gearbox. The technical manual is prob best bet as suggested above. If its not in there I have zero clues where you could find it.
 
Sadly I cannot open the downloaded manuals, it keeps throwing up WinZip pane, register, purchase, etc. Replacement box might be simplest answer, but consider this, surely the companies that recon the boxes, or build them, have those torque figures, or are they guessing?

Well I would guess they would use a manufacturer technical manual like in the downloads section, and if they couldnt find one ask around as they would know lots of people in the field, failing that they would use their experience to guesstimate what it should be.

The files do work, i have used them. You need to download them all to the same folder and then just unpack any one of them using a program that can do .rar files. Plenty of free software that can do .rar files, pretty sure windows can't do it on its own so you have to get something that can, winrar or 7zip would be the 2 i would suggest, for no particular reason other than thats what i know.

So, you come on here, get upset when no one answers, yet the info is there.

No, not upset that no-one replied, but am upset that I cannot get the downloads to open. I have tried 3 different platforms to open the downloads, each one comes back with bad data detected, or unable to open thumbnail images, etc.
So, if be chance, some can open their downloaded manuals, please let me know, either the settings I require, or how you managed to open them. I'm a hands-on technician of some 42 + years in the trade, not an I.T guru. Cheers

I just did this on my punto re-using the existing nuts. Even with the flattening on the nuts released with a screwdriver, these nuts are sufficiently tight I needed to put the box back on the car to want to risk trying to undo them without breaking something.

For reassembling the mainshaft/input shaft took 100nm to reach the flats. I did the countershaft nut first and it was much easier, about 70nm. The nuts go from turnable to very tight very quickly so it is obvious which flat you are aiming for. I used a long crowbar inside the smaller of the two selector openings.

The nuts are not preloading the bearings.
