4r100 drain plug torque spec

Ready to refill the tranny with ATF. I installed the drain plug. I searched in the Chilton manual and on the forum for the torque spec for the drain plug, but all that I could find was torque specs for pan bolts, torque converter plug, or motor oil drain plug torque specs.

Does anyone know the torque spec. for the tranny drain plug?

Thanks,

Rich

I guess I've never really worried about proper torque on drain plugs. I just tighten them up and have never had any problems.
