Torque spec: torx nut on trans mount?

Does anybody know this? I'm replacing the transmission mounts on a 2002 986 base with a tiptronic gearbox. I've checked the factory manual set, along with a number of books with little results. The two specs I came up with:
1) transmission support on transmission housing 24ft lb
2) hydraulic mount to carrier side section 48ft lb
Thanks for any help or assistance.
Regards

Hello - have you checked out the Bentley manuals for your 986? It should have all the torque specs and wiring diagrams for your car - link below.

The Bentley manual has never been terribly helpful for stuff like that. The "101 Projects" book didn't have it either. Since the said torx is referred to as a "M12" hardware, the factory manual refers to other M12 hardware at 55 ft lbs. This is where I'll start, along with blue loctite.
It's too bad Porsche does not put out "Tech Spec Booklets" like the old days for their cars.

Respectively, not really set up for the owner and the price structure is off. That system is structured more for shops and the dealer network. Porsche needs to realize that most dealers don't want to work on these older cars. Frankly, they don't like diagnostic work(the type beyond the reader). I really thought the factory manual set would have it in there. Even they are not as detailed as the older manual sets (911, 993, etc..).
Thanks for the comment though. ; )
