2017 Sentra SV trans oil pan

The trans oil pan on my 2017 Nissan Sentra SV had a crack (crushed) and I purchased a new pan. When installing the new pan, two of the 15 bolts didn't tighten to spec of 8.7 ft. lbs of torque. Will this most likely create leakage issues? Or, is the 13pts of torque enough?

@tdh5171 it will most likely not leaking, for as long as the two bolts are not in a row, Let us know what happened when you did try to tighten those up to spec.

The bolts would simply turn in place.... I ended up purchasing a thread repair kit and fixing the issue. It only took about an hour from start to finish and the pan isn't leaking at all.

@tdh5171 excellent. Love it when a good plan comes together :-)
