A torque wrench prevents bolts from coming out now?
I always thought it was for tightening bolts to a certain degree. Silly me,
I've been using thread lock all these years with the torque wrench and all I
needed was the wrench.

Man, my torque wrench sure won't fit back there. Maybe for the bottom
ones.... I have also seen and heard of the bell housing coming loose.

To the OP, I would change the tranny fluid first, it could be full of
water or low or event he wrong kind.

That's the problem: they don't get tightened correctly.
