yes they are. i have built/r&r'd enough of them.+ i have a cheat sheet for all the torque specs for t56 a4 ls lt etc...
usually fine with a couple blips of a 3/8 impact gun.
but torqing them is the proper way.

well first clutch i put in this car i pulled the bellhousing out to find it missing an ear off of it... no bolt or anything in it... so i bought a new bellhousing (somthing like $300 my cost working at a chevy dealer) so needless to say i want to make sure i dont crack this one haha.... i have one miss matched bolt in there.. but it works... thanks again!

Its more likely to crack if its not on the dowels correctly before you tighten the bolts, then a few short hits with the impact.

yea rather play it safe than sorry... again i don't know why the ear was missing so i cant make that call... but iv had bad luck with "cast" parts breaking in the past and just want to do it the right way...
