How are you torquing the bolts? I know some of the bolts require a $300 torque wrench to set the torque correctly.
I wish I could get my hands on a transmission with a 3.7 final drive, a 3.545 1st, and a .725 5th gear. It would allow me to run 840 rev/mile tires (175/65/R15 LRR tires + rims are cheaper than going to 14" LRR tires) and have an easy time on hills but still be able to keep the revs down on the freeway.

The differential ratio of the A244 is 2.821, quite low compared to what I've seen in almost any Toyota transmission. I might have to downshift for bigger hills, we'll see.
I have a torque wrench. I'm not sure why you'd need some crazy expensive torque wrench to torque down the diff gear bolts or bellhousing bolts. Those are the only bolts that I need to change. I don't think they're anything special. What bolts are you talking about?
