I understand that you could clean the threads of the drain nut but how do you clean threads in gearbox when oil is always going to be present. Wouldnt locktite need a clean surface to work propley. I would be just using the oring.

Never thought about cleaning the threads in gearbox
... Only on the nut so far...

I recently change my transmission oi and when I tighten the drain nut back on, I think I overtighten it to about 15ft/lb... Found out later from the manual that it should be only around 2 ft/lb.
My question is... How bad is this? Did I do any damage? What should I do now? Should I unscrew and tighten to 2 ft/lb?
Thanks in advance.

MY bad
... I was never wrong to begin with... 15ft/lb was correct on both engine and transmission drain nuts... Primary drain nut is 3-5 ft/lb.Thanks for those for responding anyway....

RE: Transmission drain nut
And reading further down that page, it reads to tighten the (transmission) Filler plug to 25 -75 IN-Lbs

am confused - section 1-19 of the '05HD touring service manual says "install the transmission drain plug and tighten to 14-21 ft-lbs"
has there been an update to this info or is a duece different from an RKC?

My manual says 14 to 21 ft lbs for the drain plugs. 25 to 75 Inch lbs for the filler cap.
Loctite 565 is a liquid thread sealer. It is considered a controlled strength loctite. And it provides vibration resistance. It does not require a lot of force to remove. It does however keep fluids from leaking through. It is applied to a clean surface. Old stuff is removable with a wire brush. And yes you should remove the old stuff from the case threads.
Even with the o-ring, one more leak prevention is a good thing.
