Can anyone help with the proper torque values for changing the torque converter?

Thanks in advance

Tight. If you can get a torque wrench in the little access hole for the converter bolts, more power to ya.
Cant get a torque wrench on:
Starter bolts, Bellhousing bolts.
You dont need to torque the crossmember, or any linkage bracketry.
I have never even used a torque wrench on my car.
