Default trans mount bolts torque?

Hi guys,
97 4.0 6 cyl auto trans, RHD.

Does anyone know the torque on the 2 large transmount bolts that go up into transmission? got the torque for the nuts attaching the mount to the crossmember but cant find the torque for the bolts that go up.

Thanks in advance!

On the 98XJ, 4.0L, AW4, LHD, it is 55ft.lbs. Unfortunately I don't know if it is the same for yours.

mine is a AW4 too, so I think all specs would be similar, only RHD but I reckon that should not matter?

Didnt know anyone torqued those always tight but in the mechanic world rule of thumb you dont know a torque run it down snug then go 1/4 of a turn

its just that the mount has been replaced several months ago and I was checking all bolts since chasing a knocking coming from that area when accelerating from stop.
Found those bolts going up to be " not snug", but when I went tightening them, it looked as if they digged into the layer underneath the bolt head very easy, not using much force!? Cant work out if that ' layer' is actually just soft coating of the transmount or softened metal..
