I had my transmission replace and the guy forgot to tighten my torque conver bolt what can i do to tighten them myself

The rod bearing cap bolt torque specifications for the 3.0L V6 engine in a 2000 Ford Ranger XLT 4x4 with a manual transmission are as follows:

• Step 1: Tighten the bolts to 15 foot-pounds of torque.
• Step 2: Tighten the bolts to 30 foot-pounds of torque.
• Step 3: Tighten the bolts an additional 90 degrees (1/4 turn) using a torque angle gauge.

It's important to follow the torque specifications and sequence in the manufacturer's service manual to ensure proper tightening and prevent damage to the engine.

Insert torque converter into transmission and hold in place with home made bracket. Move trans into position to engine while aligning the holes in the flexplate to the bolts in the torque converter. Once alignment, secure the transmission to the engine. Then tighten the converter nuts and bolts

Here is a suggested updated torque spec for this engine's rocker arm bolts;
Rocker arms
Step one: Torque to 11 ft lbs then tighten an additional 90 degrees of bolt head rotation. Some guys don't fuss with the torque specs and just get them good and tight. Either way, be careful, as the heads are aluminum. You do not want to over tighten these bolts

Install the cylinder heads. Use new gaskets and tighten the bolts, in sequence, as follows:

1. Step 1: Bolts 1-8 to 20 ft. lbs. (27 Nm)
2. Step 2: Bolts 1-10 verify torque without loosening
3. Step 3: Bolts 9-12 to 10 ft. lbs. (14 Nm)
4. Step 4: Bolts 1-8 plus 1 / 4 (90 degree) turn
5. Step 5: Bolts 9-12 to 19 ft. lbs. (26 Nm)

Three most likely causes are: #1 You forgot to tighten up all the torque converter to flex plate nuts/bolts. #2 You cracked the flex plate during the transmission change. #3 You forgot to swap one or both of the alignment dowels from the old transmission to the new one during the change. These are hollow dowel pins. They go between the bell housing of the transmission and the engine block. Failure to have both dowels in place will lead to the flex plate cracking [see #2]

Its a big job gave you and example for neon

Check transmission pan & lines 4 leak. Tighten all pan bolts, line connectors & drain plug. U may need a new transmission pan gasket. Any cracks in transmission?
