Best Answer

Once the initial torque is applied to the fastener, a reverse torque test can be performed to make sure that the fastener has not loosened due to vibration or other conditions like material fatigue or yielding.

So, lets say you tighten a bolt to 150inlb with a torque wrench. You should be able to take that torque wrench and apply 150inlb to the bolt in the reverse direction without the bolt loosening (reverse torque is gretaer in almost all cases, depending on materials because initial static friction must be overcome.)

What causes an automatic transmission not to idle?

If you mean each time you engage car in any gear forward or reverse & it immediately stalls - you have a bad torque converter.

What meninges of Torque?

If you mean "what does torque mean", then it means it's the amount of twisting power your tires will have. Horse power is speed and torque is strength. Torque is like leverage, the bigger the throw on a flywheel, the more torque you have ( meaning more towing power or getting going power).
