FT. LBS to INCH LBS on trani adjustments
Ok, im a dumb ***, my torqe wrench is ft pounds. Is there a way I can convert ft lbs to inch lbs? Lucky for my my dumb *** attack didnt fk me, but I did loosen the lock nut, and started to turn the adjustment screw. I hope im not F'd. I will never fk with my trani again! Any info would be greatly appreciated. This is my rear band adjustment screw I'm refering too, I'm changing my fluid, and thought I was gona adjust my front and rear bands. WTF was I thinkn!
Thanks

you can use a ft. lbs. torque wrench for inch. lbs. only if your ft. lbs. goes low enough. for example if the torque spec calls for 72inch lbs, you can use a ft lb wrench at 6 ft. lbs.
its simple math. 12inch. lbs. for 1ft. lbs. so
12inch lbs = 1ft lbs
24inch lbs = 2ft lbs
300 inch lbs = 25ft lbs
etc......
hope this helps.

Usually your ft lbs torque wrench is gonna be outa range for inch lbs, don't you have any mechanic buddys you could borrow one from ? I've heard of people goin to Sears and buyin a specialty tool and then returning it when done, but I would never do or condone anything like that.

Depending on the torque and price range, you could buy a electronic torque wrench. I have the Snap-On 3/8" version, and it reads Ft.-Lbs., In.-Lbs., and Nm. It shows live value of torque as you go, not just a click or beep. Very handy for setting preload on bearings via. rolling torque.
