Help Identify this Torque Tube
SOB Racing Thu Dec 11, 2014 7:01 pm
I got a cut down torque tube through a junkyard to mock up my bellhousing on my 4g63 swap. I got this in the mail....it was supposed to be for a early 85 944 NA.
The splines are too long and the pilot bearing surface is too long as well?
Any ideas what this came from?

Looks like it's an automatic (has recess for circlip used to keep rubber damper quiet) ...should be able to use it with a 5 speed but not vice versa (can't easily use 5 speed torque tube with an automatic).
Also looks like the drive shaft has been pulled forward a few inches...weird.

Yeah...I had him cut the torque tube to 24" just so I could used it for mock up. I asked to to include 2 of the support bearings so I think he just hammered everything forward. 
I Im'd the junkyard guy and he said it came out of a manual car and he didn't even think of looking at the c-clip groove till I pointed it out. He said he would cut another and send it if i needed it. the pilot bushing is pretty worn out so I will probably have him ship another so i can get the engagement right

I have the Torque tube and shaft dimensions posted here somewhere. The spline engagement is critical as well as pilot input.

Yep I have those dims...mainly I wanted to know where this came from so I could talk to the junk yard guy in case he gave me a hard time.
That's why I bought this mock up tue is to double check the pilot bearing engagment.
