Majority of the information matches up with my mitsu manual. Chiltons has stupid errors everynow and then or they forget completely to tell u how to unbolt certain parts. Other then that..it answers all the stupid lil questions that majority of people have.

On the Galant it dosen't seem to matter. I just snugged them (about 10 in/lbs?) and there were no leaks. Some trannys are more tempermental and have to be tighter else they leak. Anything around 1 ft/lb should be good. I always liked to use a 1/4" ratchet when doing tranny work to ensure I didn't damage anything.
