If you are going to spend that much money to have it all taken apart to replace the TOB, you definitely should do the clutch as well, because it takes the same amount of disassembly to get to the TOB as it does the clutch itself.

After a frustrating attempt to use a local Stuart Florida garage that allegedly had experience with Corvette Torque tubes (4 days and they said they were still getting prices on parts) I had it re-towed to Eisman Corvette in Jupiter Florida. I'll post results.

Eisman put in a new C6 Z06 flywheel, clutch, pressure plate, release bearing, re-sealed the rear, changed trans and rear end fluids. Clutch and shifting feel great now. $ 6200, steep but it's the first maintenance, except oil, filter and tba, in 20+ years and 69K miles.
I look at it this way $6200/20years is a $310 per year. Not bad at all.
